ANNOUNCEMENTS

Good morning and welcome to the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025!

There are sixty-one working days left in the fiscal year, so please ensure you are checking the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov), GSA E-Buy (https://www.ebuy.gsa.gov/ebuy/) and other government points of entry.  Opportunities will post and close quickly, depending on the complexity and dollar amount, so checking these sites daily is a good idea.

The Small Business Outreach at Coastal Carolina Community College on 31 July 2025 only has 30 seats left, so register today at https://www.ncmbc.us/event/small-business-outreach-coastal-carolina-community-college/

The Small Business Dynamic Search is sunsetting as well this Summer, but the BETA (not final for those of your born in the 20^th Century) version is available for you see at https://beta-search.certifications.sba.gov/.  I checked it out and I already like some of the new functionalities and views.

For construction companies, please contact Naval Facilities Systems Engineering Command (NAVFAC), the Army Corps of Engineers or Hunt Companies.  NAVFAC/USACE have the contract authority for all military construction and related services, and you can find points of contact at https://business.defense.gov/.   Hunt has the contract for all family housing and related services, and the local representative is dwayne.harrison@huntcompanies.com.
