The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission will conduct a quarterly public seminar on Dec. 3 in Rockville, Md., to provide information and guidance on how small businesses can contract with the agency and expand their participation in the federal sector.
The seminar will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel, 1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Md. It will be open to the public and participation can be in person or online through a webinar.
The NRC’s Small Business Program serves the agency and the community by advocating for small businesses, including those owned by the disadvantaged, women, veterans, and service-disabled veterans, as well as those located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB Zones). The NRC awarded more than $167 million contract dollars in fiscal year 2008 and approximately $223 million in fiscal year 2009.
“We are committed to reaching out and helping businesses that are interested in contracting opportunities with the agency,” said Diana Strong, small business program manager in the Office of Small Business and Civil Rights. “The Business Meet & Greet seminars are designed to provide businesses with the necessary tools for contracting and to introduce firms to our staff that can help fulfill agency work needs.”
Topics to be discussed include an overview of the agency, the kinds of services NRC contracts out, and special presentations on a technical program office’s operations, the Small Business Program, the Division of Contracts and the Office of the General Counsel. The full agenda, archived presentations and information on upcoming events are available on the NRC’s Web site: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/contracting/small-business/meet-greet-seminars.html.
