Small Business Utilization — Small Business Advocates
Sandia’s Small Business Advocates are the primary liaisons between the small business community and Sandia. Advocates promote qualified suppliers who fit the definition of Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, 8(a) Business, or HUBZone Business, and that have the capability and capacity to meet Sandia's purchasing needs. The first step in learning how to do business at Sandia National Laboratories is to contact a Small Business Advocate.

Navigate suppliers through Sandia’s Corporate, Procurement, and Opportunities websites.
Inform suppliers about marketing to Sandia.
