We anticipate and solve the most challenging problems that threaten security in the 21st century. There are nearly 10,000 dedicated people who share strong core values such as integrity, excellence, teamwork and an abiding respect for one another — working together to protect us all. And much of that work begins right here. Sandia has been powering scientific advancement and economic growth in California for more than 50 years. But the truth is, our relationship goes much deeper than that.
While meeting America's challenges in defense, energy, resources, transportation, border protection, infrastructure and more, we became more than just a laboratory located here. We became part of the community itself. The contributions of time and resources made by our company and our employees have made a profound and positive impact on the lives of many people living in California and the greater Bay Area.
What kind of financial impact does Sandia make here in California? Sandia generates nearly $1 billion in both direct and indirect economic output in the state of California with nearly half coming from the San Francisco Bay Area according to a report by Center for Economic Development at California State University-Chico. Sandia spends more than $2.4 billion annually in support of its national security missions with a portion spent directly in the state of California.
