About this Event
Please join us for our in-person Small Business Industry Day! This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about contracting opportunities within USACE, as well as other federal and state agencies.
The Memphis (MVM) District Corps of Engineers is responsible for maintaining and improving 355 miles of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois to the Mouth of the White River. MVM maintains more than 640 miles of mainline levees along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, 254 miles of navigation channel on the White River, 1,182 miles of levees, 38 levee/drainage districts and 10 inland harbors. MVM serves customers in portions of Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky. Our partners include levee and drainage districts, water resource and wildlife agencies, port commissions, and numerous non-governmental organizations as well as 10 U.S. Representatives and 12 U.S. Senators. Primarily a Civil Works District, MVM’s primary missions include Flood Risk Management, Navigation, Environmental Stewardship and Emergency Operations.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) – Tennessee District, as well as your local Apex Accelerator (formerly PTAC), are the small business resources to help your business successfully navigate the federal contracting waters. The SBA administers certain special contracting designations, and may also potentially have financing options to help you get in the market.
The Industry Day Forum will focus primarily on presentations from various representatives that will heighten contractors' awareness on business opportunities, success tips for small businesses, unique requirements and qualifications required for complex projects, and provide the opportunity for government and industry to network and forge meaningful partnerships. The forum will also address customer perceptions and experiences working with small businesses based on reviews and feedback from customers, as well as provide the opportunity to brief federal contracting representatives on a company’s ability to fulfill certain requirements within a specific realm of the acquisition landscape.
