NDIA's Annual Missile Defense Small Business Programs Conference

MDA's Office of Small Business Programs has joined forces with National Defense Industry Association to bring you the NDIA Annual Missile Defense Small Business Conference. This year's conference will highlight information relevant to MDA's Program requirements, an overview of MDA's upcoming procurements, a Successful Proposal Response Boot Camp and provide opportunities for matchmaking with MDA Program Offices, the MDA Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP), MDA Prime contractors and other Agencies located on Redstone Arsenal.

This conference will provide small businesses with a "one-stop shopping" opportunity to learn as much as they can about upcoming MDA procurements including (but not limited to) briefings on IRES and the upcoming MiDAESS follow on contracts. Attendees will also gain insights from a town hall type meeting with the Director of Contracts (invited), and the Office of Small Business Programs.

 
Our matchmaking will include opportunities to meet with the MDA Small Business Advocacy Council, MDA Prime Contractors, and the Regional OSBP Offices.  Matchmaking provides small businesses a 15 minute one on one session to provide a capability briefing,  ask questions, and receive feedback (on an unclassified level) about upcoming requirements.  The Matchmaking slots will open (on a first come first served basis) on July 8th (a link will be provided by NDIA once you are registered).

On July 23rd, to kick off the event, MDA has brought in representatives from MDA Contracts (DAC), General Council (GC) and Advanced Technology (DV) to conduct a "Successful Proposal Response Boot Camp" to help small businesses understand the importance of following the RFP and BAA instructions and to share lessons learned from GC on Organizational Conflicts of Interest.  Immediately following the "Boot Camp" will be a kick off networking reception to welcome you to the conference.
