SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of the meeting: 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.
