Area code 505 covers Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and most of New Mexico. Albuquerque's economy is shaped by two dominant forces: Sandia National Laboratories and Kirtland Air Force Base. Sandia, operated by Honeywell for the Department of Energy, employs over 14,000 scientists and engineers on national security and energy research — making it one of the largest and most impactful national labs in the US. Kirtland AFB hosts the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center and multiple classified research programmes. Intel's Rio Rancho campus was for decades one of the company's largest global chip manufacturing sites. The University of New Mexico and its health sciences complex round out a federal-and-research-heavy regional economy.
From Albuquerque to Farmington 505 covers the Southwest region of New Mexico.
