U.S. Department of State Small Business Industry Day 2019

The U.S. Department of State is hosting a Small Business Industry Day event on October 16, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Le Meridien Hotel Arlington Conference Center in Arlington, VA. This event targets small business firms that hold a government Secret or Top Secret Facility Clearance, have past performance on government contracts, and maintain relevant industry certifications within their primary NAICS codes. Participation is limited to two attendees per firm, with registration on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space. Interested parties are encouraged to register through the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce website. Although the Department contracts for a wide range of products and services, the event emphasizes the top 10 NAICS codes relevant to the Department's contracting priorities, including 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting), 561162 (Security Systems Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and others related to professional and technical services. For questions or additional information, attendees can contact the Senior Procurement Analyst, Judith E. Thomas, via email or phone. The event offers a valuable opportunity for cleared small businesses to network and engage directly with Department of State procurement officials.
