Annual industry day - carderock

The Naval Sea Systems Command's Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has announced its Annual Industry Day as a Special Notice to the federal contracting community. This free, in-person event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the Canopy Hotel in North Bethesda, Maryland. The notice is categorized under Engineering Services and was posted on September 17, 2025, with a registration deadline of October 30, 2025. The Department of the Navy is hosting this opportunity to facilitate direct engagement between industry and the naval research and development center. This Special Notice represents a non-competitive opportunity designed to foster relationships and communication rather than a traditional solicitation for contract proposals.

The primary objective of the Industry Day is to increase private sector awareness of NSWCCD's mission, operations, and future contracting requirements while providing attendees with insights into the Center's technical capabilities and departmental priorities. The event features presentations from five departmental codes covering Corporate Operations, Platform Integrity, Signatures, Naval Architecture and Engineering, and Contracting, alongside a Command Overview and Ask Me Anything session to facilitate networking and dialogue. There are no specific eligibility restrictions for participation; the event is open to industry participants seeking to understand NSWCCD's future requirements and capabilities. Interested contractors must register through the provided Google Forms link prior to the October 30 deadline. The event is sponsored by NSWCCD's Office of Small Business Programs and Tech Bridge, with Carlos J. Duran serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
