Sandia's Impact Huge


Journal Staff Report
      The annual report on Sandia National Laboratories' economic footprint in New Mexico is out, and it's sizable.
       Last year, Sandia spent $1,016,403,000 on labor and noncontract related payments; $72,633,000 on procurement card purchases; $62,575,000 for New Mexico corporate taxes; and $1,013,672,000 on contract-related payments, Sandia says in the report.
       Sandia also employs 9,414 regular and temporary employees, of which 8,248 work at the New Mexico site. The work force consists of 68 percent men, 32 percent women and 30 percent minorities. And in 2007, out of 975 new hires, 294 graduated from a New Mexico university.
       “We decided to put out this brochure to let the public know how much Sandia contributes to the state's economy in both dollars and community efforts,” said Don Devoti, manager of Sandia's Small Business Utilization Department. “And it's significant.”
       Other facts about the National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory include:
       n The nonprofit tech transfer Technology Ventures Corp. helped form 10 companies in 2006 and obtained $218 million in private-sector equity. Since 1993, about 95 new companies have been formed.
       n The Mentor Protégé program sponsored by Sandia assists small businesses through a mentor-facilitated program.
       n Sandia Science & Technology Park is a 200-plus-acre master-planned technology community where 25 companies employ 2,104 people. In 2007 public investment in the park exceeded $5 million; private investment exceeded $32.8 million.
       n Sandia/Lockheed Martin is the largest corporate contributor to the United Way of Central New Mexico, giving more than $3.3 million in 2006; Sandia employees, retirees and contractors logged more than 120,000 volunteer hours in 2006.
       n In K-12 education partnerships, Sandia-sponsored family science nights provide an evening of hands-on science for more than 4,000 elementary-school children and their families; Manos, Dream Catchers and HMTech programs encourage more than 500 underrepresented youths to consider science, technology, engineering and math careers; Sandia also supports science and math teachers' professional development scholarships for national board certification conferences and workshops.
