  We identify within the SU(5) framework the minimum number of soft
supersymmetry breaking parameters which can yield a bottom squrak (sbottom) as
the next to lightest supersymmetric particle. We focus in particular on the
neutralino-sbottom coannihilation scenario which gives rise to the desired
neutralino dark matter relic density. We find solutions in which the sbottom
mass is greater than or of order 210 GeV, while the gluino and the first two
family squarks are heavier than 1 TeV. Some benchmark points which can be
tested at the LHC are presented.
