Greetings! This Thursday morning, representatives from nearly one hundred  small companies will converge on Columbia, MD to participate in the NSETS Industry Review hosted by our SBINT/CYBER Working Group. This sold out event will provide an overview of the NSA Small Business Set-Aside (NSETS) Program, a preview of the upcoming NSETS 3.0 by the NSETS II Program Office and a comprehensive industry panel discussion featuring NSETS Prime Contractors. Plenty of networking is built into the agenda to maximize business growth opportunities. We're happy to have the support of Ira Koretsky (The Chief Storyteller) who has taken on host/moderator duties for this event, and leading the pack of the many great companies supporting this event is our Gold Sponsor:TeamingConnection: Defense Intelligence Agency Mentor-Protege Program
Interested in learning how to position your company for the new Defense Intelligence  Agency Mentor-Protege Program? We're currently talking with interested prime contractors doing business at DIA to finalize the details for a half-day TeamingConnection event featuring presentations by prospective mentors and match-making with prospective protege companies. We've already locked in one date for a Tysons presentation to be followed by a session in Columbia, MD. Our friends from the DIA Office of Small Business Program will be on-hand to provide an overview of this new program. Stay tuned for details! Simplified Acquisitions - The Streamlined Purchase Process
 The SAP Task Force presents substantive information on how, what and where government agencies make purchases using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) - one of the easiest methods for acquiring goods and services to support government business and mission operations. In addition to Simplified Acquisitions: A Missed Opportunity for Small Government Contractors offered in-person and via webinar under The ASBCs of Government Contracting, you can now participate in an agency-by-agency, market research-centric deep dive during the Simplified Acquisition Spotlight. This program offers a tactical view of business activities and opportunities at a specific agency. We're online the second and fourth Monday of each month. The newest contribution to your business development efforts is the Simplified Acquisition Snapshot, a complimentary, weekly blog entry that reviews federal agency SAP spending state-by-state that highlights top agencies/sub-agencies, what's being purchased and a little trivia you can answer to win free passes to the Spotlight webinars.

While the terms "Ethical Stalking" and "Open Source Intelligence" may cause raised eyebrows when I'm discussing tactics government contractors should employ to collect and leverage opportunity-related information, I'm not the only one doing it.
