19th Annual Bridging Partnerships Small Business Symposium

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will participate in the 19th Annual Bridging Partnerships Small Business Symposium, hosted by the Hanford Small Business Council (HSBC) in partnership with the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce. This two-day event brings together small businesses, large contractors, and Department of Energy (DOE) stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and expand procurement opportunities across the DOE complex.

The symposium features presentations and panels led by DOE officials and industry leaders on topics critical to small business success, including proposal development, strategic sourcing, and navigating DOE procurement processes. The event is designed to foster meaningful connections, share practical insights, and support diverse business participation in federal contracting.

SLAC will be exhibiting at a dedicated supplier table and participating in two panel sessions:

• Integrated Contractor Purchasing Team (ICPT) Panel – SLAC will participate in its role supporting ICPT, a volunteer team of site champions across DOE Management & Operating (M&O) sites focused on improving small business engagement and procurement collaboration.
• Doing Business with SLAC Panel – SLAC representatives will provide guidance on how to register as a supplier, navigate SLAC procurement requirements, and position your business for future opportunities.

This symposium is an excellent opportunity for current and prospective suppliers to engage directly with DOE laboratories, learn how to do business with SLAC, and build relationships that support long-term collaboration.
