[cid:image002.png@01DC442D.D096E7C0] Update on Federal Shutdown and Sandia’s Plan Thursday, October 23, 2025 Valued Subcontractors: A message was sent to members of Sandia workforce today outlining Sandia’s plan if the federal shutdown continues. All subcontractors should continue to work according to the terms of their subcontract, unless notified otherwise by their Subcontracting Professional.  Some programs will begin to exhaust funding in early November. If the program your subcontract supports are impacted, the buyer will inform you of the need to stop work. If the shutdown persists, Sandia may move part of the Winter Shutdown holiday period to the week of November 24. Subcontractors will receive further correspondence with additional guidance should this occur. Please contact your Sandia Delegated Representative (SDR) with questions.
