ANNOUNCEMENTS
Happy 2 March 2026 and the final month of the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026! Hard to believe Fiscal Year 2026 is nearing the halfway point. Momentum will pick up rapidly, and there will be a lot of sources sought and solicitations posting in either the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov), or GSAEBuy (https://www.ebuy.gsa.gov/ebuy/), so check both a few times a week.
The North Carolina Military Business Center and Small Business Technology Development Center both have events coming up, so here are their websites:
www.ncmbc.us
www.sbtdc.org
Both organizations have multiple 2026 events posted on their websites now, so go check them out and see what events interest you and match your business.
If you are not in North Carolina, APEX Accelerators are another great resource. APEX Accelerators offer no-cost services to help businesses succeed in the government marketplace. Check out the following website for an APEX Accelerator near you:
