  • Assisting small businesses with strategies for teaming and subcontracting with large companies.
  • Updating members on legislation that may affect small businesses.
  • Developing and organizing roundtable discussions with senior government and private-sector officials to address current issues. The division will continue to support the NDIA Annual National Small Business Conference.
  • Working with the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to foster the small-business defense industrial base and address acquisition challenges.
