About the Conference
Background and Purpose of the Supplier Forum:
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM), and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), will be co-sponsoring a Suppliers Outreach event for suppliers interested in providing services and products in the nuclear sector on July 31, 2008 in Denver, CO.
This nuclear suppliers’ outreach event is an excellent opportunity for companies interested in working in the DOE nuclear sector to gain insights into the current and future markets for products and services, and requirements to enter or to continue to work on nuclear projects in the DOE-complex. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to interact directly with senior executives, project managers, and procurement personnel working for DOE and its prime contractors; and, gain insight into Nuclear Quality Assurance program requirements applicable to both the DOE and commercial nuclear industry sectors.
The purpose of this forum is two fold. First, it will help ensure that all EM and NNSA sites have an adequate number of qualified nuclear and non-nuclear suppliers for future projects and programs. Second, it will provide information for suppliers regarding the needs of DOE projects and programs for their products and services in the years ahead. By providing products and services to DOE for its nuclear projects, companies may become qualified to supply similar products and services to the commercial nuclear power industry as the commercial nuclear renaissance in the U.S. and overseas evolves.
