contents Vacuum structure of a quantum field theory is a crucial property. In theories with extended symmetries, such as supersymmetric gauge theories, the vacuum is typically a continuous manifold, called the vacuum moduli space, parametrized by the expectation values of scalar fields. Starting from the R-parity preserving superpotential at renormalizable order, we use Gröbner bases to determine the explicit structure, as an algebraic variety, of the vacuum geometry of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Gröbner bases have doubly exponential computational complexity (for this case, $7^{2^{1023}}$ operations); we exploit symmetry and multigrading to render the computation tractable. This geometry has three irreducible components of complex dimensions $1$, $15$, and $29$, each being a so-called rational variety. The defining equations of the components express the solutions to F-terms and D-terms in terms of the gauge invariant operators and are interpreted in terms of classical geometric constructions.
