The NUWC Division Newport commander has appointed the Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) to advise small businesses about possible contracting opportunities at the command and to identify to contracting officers potential small business sources for new and recurring contractual requirements.
The OSBP also works closely with the NAVSEA associate director (SEA00K) for Small Business Programs to ensure that small business participation is maximized and that NAVSEA-mandated small business goals are achieved.
"Doing Business with the NAVSEA Warfare Center's Small Business Offices," provides an overview of the NAVSEA small business program, and a list of Director's, Small Business at each Warfare Center.
The SEA00K-mandated FY15 small business participation goal assigned to NUWC Newport was 35%; NUWC Newport achieved 39%.
The SEA00K-mandated FY16 SEA00K small business participation goal assigned to NUWC Newport is 35%. To achieve these goals, the Division Newport OSBP is actively seeking new small businesses and will endeavor to set aside procurements for small business in accordance with (FAR) 19, (Small Business Programs), where there is a “reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns that are competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery.”
