Forty-two vendors — the highest number to ever attend — participated in the 5th Annual Small Business Product Vendor Showcase held at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport on Oct. 18, 2017.
The annual event allows small business product vendors to meet with technical personnel, prime contractors and other small businesses and begin to cultivate and expand relationships. It also assists NUWC Newport engineers and scientists in meeting their market research requirements, enabling them to “kick the tires” and actually get their hands on products of interest.
The event, facilitated by Stephen Stewart, deputy competition advocate/director, Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP), offered an opportunity for businesses to demonstrate their products.
“This showcase is a major component of the OSBP outreach effort, which has had a significant impact on increasing NUWC’s small business contracts,” said Capt. Michael Coughlin, NUWC Division Newport commanding officer. “In fiscal year 2017, 35 percent of Division Newport's obligations were awarded to small businesses, exceeding our yearly goal."
