Summary of simulation frameworks and available MC samples
We have reached out to the various future collider collaborations to collect information regarding MC simulation frameworks and existing MC samples. The collected information is available here.
Benchmark Collider Delphes Cards
All benchmark collider cards for Snowmass 2021 are in the official Delphes github repository.

MC/Simulation Framework Tutorial Series
We are holding a series of tutorials for a variety of proposed future colliders. The goal of these tutorials is to prepare outside collaborators to conduct physics studies for these machines.

Background MC Request
The success of the Snowmass Energy Frontier effort depends crucially on the analysis of a wide variety of MC samples for various future colliders/detectors. Collaborations for future collider proposals have produced many such samples, using simulation frameworks of varying degrees of sophistication. However, production of additional samples may be necessary to conduct proposed studies for Snowmass 2021.
Similar to Snowmass 2013, a coherent set of SM background samples will be produced proactively for proposed proton-proton machines with Delphes. If additional samples/statistics are required, they can be requested below. For Snowmass 2021, we also plan to produce background MC samples for lepton-lepton and lepton-hadron machines. These samples will be produced in an on-demand basis, and must be requested below. All samples will be produced on a best-effort basis, and volunteers to help with the effort are very welcome. More information on MC production plans can be found here: https://indico.fnal.gov/event/44870/contributions/198448/attachments/136004/168901/Stupak_100720_SnowmassEFMCTF.pdf
Before making a request, please review the following google doc, which summarizes the availability of MC samples for various proposed machines: https://indico.fnal.gov/event/44870/contributions/198448/attachments/136004/168905/Stupak_100720_SnowmassEFMCTF.pdf
