NSWC CD Small Business Capability Brief Event

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice for a Small Business Capability Brief Event scheduled for July 23, 2025, at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) in West Bethesda, Maryland. This event is specifically designed to provide small businesses with an opportunity to engage directly with Carderock's key stakeholders, including requirement generators, acquisition managers, and contracting personnel. The event will be held in-person at Building 40, located at 9500 MacArthur Boulevard, with a limited capacity of 12 companies. It represents a strategic initiative by the Department of the Navy to facilitate meaningful interactions between small businesses and naval procurement decision-makers.

Interested small businesses must email Mr. Christopher Kontaxis (with a copy to Carlos J. Duran) by June 25, 2025, to confirm their attendance at the capability brief event. Participants will be required to share their capability statements and will be provided with specific registration, parking, and agenda details via email after confirmation. Companies without military installation access will need to complete an additional form for entry. The event is free of charge and offers a unique platform for small businesses to showcase their capabilities directly to NSWCCD stakeholders. Only one vehicle per company will be permitted for parking, and attendees will gain valuable insights into potential contracting opportunities within the Naval Sea Systems Command. The event's objective is to create a structured environment for direct communication and potential business development between small businesses and naval procurement professionals.
