In addition to its primary mission to the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), Sandia provides technical resources and facilities to a variety of other federal agencies through the DOE/NNSA sponsored Work for Others Program.
Work for Others encompasses conventional defense, strategic defense, counterproliferation and nonproliferation, treaty verification, environmental cleanup and monitoring, energy uses, high-performance computing, safeguards and security, radiation effects, materials development and characterization, law enforcement, transportation, space efforts, and a variety of other national security areas.
The technology base developed through our work for the DOE/NNSA has established expertise and capabilities not found in industry or in other government agencies. Therefore, these opportunities to contribute technological solutions to agencies other than the DOE/NNSA help solve national needs. Work for Others also benefits the supported agencies by leveraging multiagency funds and helping maintain Sandia's abilities to perform DOE/NNSA missions.
Projects must be consistent with and complementary to Sandia and DOE/NNSA missions. The work must not adversely impact Sandia's execution of assigned DOE/NNSA programs or be in direct competition with the domestic private sector. Work for Others partners use Sandia's unique facilities and resources to resolve critical technical issues.
