ANNOUNCEMENTS

Good morning all and happy start to the 4th of July week! I hope you have awesome plans and have a well-deserved rest before the final drive into the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025.

When you come back to work next Monday there with be sixty-one working days left in Fiscal Year 2025.   That means there will be no time to fix expired certifications (SAM, SBA) or miss opportunities because you were not paying attention to the end of question-and-answer periods, and solicitation close dates.    

Remember, the Small Business Outreach in Jacksonville, NC on 31 July 2025 as well.  Seats are going fast for this FREE event on being competitive for Department of Defense contracts.  Here is the registration link:

The Small Business Dynamic Search is sunsetting as well this Summer, but the BETA (not final for those of your born in the 20th 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.
