This is the third year the Laboratory has offered subcontracts to small businesses in Northern New Mexico. The Technology Commercialization Office anticipates making from 5 to 15 awards this year, totaling about $200,000. Proposals are due to the Laboratory by March 20, with awards to be made in April. A total of 13 companies have been selected since the inception of the program.
A selected company may use the subcontract to further develop and commercialize the company's own technology, to access Laboratory expertise and services, or both. Although Los Alamos-developed technology is not required, the technology should contribute to the broad Laboratory mission or to a compelling national need.
Small businesses that want to attend, the conference should contact Carole Travis at (505) 665-6756 to reserve seating. Businesses that are unable to attend but want to receive the request for proposal should contact Jim Jefferis of the Laboratory's Procurement Group at jrjefferis@lanl.gov, or call (505) 667-5331.
