Small Business Event - July SBIFI 2014

The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), in partnership with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), is hosting a Small Business Information Forum Initiative (SBIFI) aimed at supporting small business industry stakeholders. This event is designed to follow the PEO STRI Acquisition Center’s monthly Procurement Administrative Lead Time (PALT) update sessions and focuses specifically on small business topics. The forum will take place at the Partnership III Building, Conference Room 321, in Orlando, Florida, on July 15, 2014, from 10:15 to 11:15 AM. Attendance does not require an RSVP, making it accessible to all interested industry participants. The agenda includes an overview of the rules of engagement, a presentation by Ms. Sandra L. Hoggarth of the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) on what constitutes an adequate accounting system, and guidance on preparing for the DCAA Pre-Award Survey, delivered by Decosimo Solvability, LLC. Due to limited parking availability at the Partnership II/III parking lot, attendees are instructed to park in the larger lot at the corner of Science Drive and Technology Parkway, with strict warnings against parking in the AT&T lot to avoid towing. The forum is administered by the Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) with points of contact available for assistance. This initiative, associated with solicitation number N61340-14-T-9001 and categorized under NAICS code 921190, reflects the Department of Defense's commitment to engaging small businesses in defense acquisition processes while providing crucial information and resources to enhance small business participation and compliance.
