Work with DOE National Labs and Offices
DOE National Laboratories and Offices
The Department of Energy (DOE) manages a network of research labs and offices across the country. These laboratories emphasize innovation, exploration, and advancement in energy, technology, and national security. Together, they support the DOE’s mission to address the nation’s energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through science and technology.
Stanford University manages and operates SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on behalf of the Department of Energy. It is one of several labs under the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Suppliers seeking to support DOE’s mission are encouraged to explore subcontracting and partnership opportunities with the national laboratories.
DOE Laboratories are essential partners in research and innovation. Each national laboratory works with universities, small businesses, and private industry through programs that advance science, strengthen laboratory facilities, and build public-private partnerships.
The Department of Energy National Laboratories
The DOE National Laboratory system includes 17 national laboratories and numerous specialized offices located throughout the United States. They conduct research in materials science, energy efficiency, renewable energy, physics, and environmental science.

DOE Laboratories also partner with industry to test, develop, and deploy advanced technologies. As part of the Department of Energy’s national network, each lab contributes to scientific progress and supports innovation in partnership with government, education, and private industry.
Suppliers, contractors, and research institutions that work with DOE laboratories help deliver solutions that advance DOE science and technology priorities. From basic research to applied science, the Department of Energy’s laboratories serve as a cornerstone of national innovation.

The Energy Department’s 17 National Labs
The U.S. Department of Energy’s 17 National Laboratories include 10 Office of Science Laboratories. SLAC and other DOE-affiliated labs drive innovation across science, energy, and technology—advancing research that tackles the world’s most complex challenges.
Learn more about their mission and facilities on the DOE Office of Science website.
Opportunities to Work with DOE National Labs
DOE National Laboratories and DOE offices collaborate with thousands of suppliers, vendors, and research partners each year. Working with a DOE laboratory provides businesses and universities with the opportunity to contribute to critical scientific and energy initiatives.
DOE vendors support research operations, laboratory facilities, and mission-driven projects in fields that advance U.S. national interests. Businesses can explore subcontracting opportunities with DOE Laboratories, register as a DOE vendor, or work through cooperative research and development agreements.
To become a DOE vendor or to learn more about federal business opportunities, suppliers can review:
- The Department of Energy’s Small Business Toolbox and Doing Business with the DOE resources
- The DOE Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
- The DOE Acquisition Forecast
- SAM.gov for Department of Energy contracts and calls for proposals
U.S. National Labs & Office Contact Information
Suppliers can reach out to any DOE National Lab or office to learn about current research, contracting needs, or future opportunities. The DOE maintains site offices across the U.S., which oversee each laboratory’s operations, research, and programs.
Some national laboratories are managed and operated by university lab partners, such as Stanford, which administers and oversees SLAC. These collaborations strengthen research partnerships between academia, industry, and the federal government.
