Marine Corps Enterprise Level Contracting offices host this event quarterly to further communication with industry on current and future requirements to meet the intent of the Deputy Secretary of Defense’s direction to engage with industry to “harness and protect the National Security Innovation Base as well as modernize key capabilities.” Through this engagement, our goal is to assist us in yielding the most innovative solutions and the best value for the Marine Corps at the Enterprise level.

In addition, the Small Business Offices(SBO) from Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and Installations & Logistics (I&L) will be in attendance and speak at the event.

Briefings include a synopsis of the acquisition, acquisition strategy (including possible set-aside), solicitation release date, and closing date.
