NUWC Division Keyport Industry Engagement - Wednesday with the Deputy for Small Business

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Keyport is hosting a recurring monthly event called "Wednesday with the Deputy for Small Business," designed to facilitate industry engagement and enhance opportunities for small businesses in contracting with the Command. These sessions offer industry partners insights into contracting opportunities, including supplies and services, set-aside opportunities, and practical guidance on how to collaborate with NUWC Division Keyport. The event also features presentations from regional support organizations such as the Washington State APEX Accelerator and Northwest Tech Bridge, along with other Small Business Deputies when available. The sessions provide a valuable platform for businesses to better understand Navy contracting processes and explore potential partnerships. The event will be conducted in a hybrid format, both in-person at Vibe Co-Works in Poulsbo, Washington, and virtually via Microsoft Teams. Scheduled dates run monthly from May through December 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. It is particularly targeted at industry partners with NAICS codes associated with construction, manufacturing, information, professional and technical services, administrative support, educational services, and other service sectors, including SeaPort Multiple Award Contract holders. Space for in-person attendance is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and participants should be aware that meetings may be subject to change or cancellation. The official point of contact for this event is David Walz, who can provide further details or answer specific inquiries.
