ANNOUNCEMENTS
Good morning all and happy Monday! If you made it through the winter storm, great! If you are still braving it, stay warm and safe!
Moving closer to the more active months of the fiscal year, so keep watching the System for Award Management and GSAEBuy for sources sought and solicitations. The Marine Corps Installations East Regional Contracting Office has some solicitations in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov), so check them out.
The North Carolina Military Business Center and Small Business Technology Development Center both have events coming up, so here are their websites:
