"To create and deliver small business options for the warfare center."
It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.
Seek Opportunities
Small Businesses seeking procurement opportunities with NSWC Carderock Division and other Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) warfare centers are encouraged to visit the Warfare Centers' Small Business Web Site. On this site small businesses can create profiles of their capabilities to support requirements specific to warfare centers. Information on this site is available to government customers seeking new and competitive small business sources and to large businesses searching for subcontractors.
