The Small Business Program Office (SBPO) knows the importance of small business outreach events. The Lab partners with various organizations to support small business development and growth in accordance with the objectives of the Small Business Administration and the Lab's Prime Contract requirements. Small Business outreach events allow the SBPO to meet with small businesses to share forecasted business opportunities, discuss Lab programs, and what capability and capacity small businesses have that would support Lab programmatic requirements. Information is then brought back to the Laboratory and shared with procurement specialists and technical requestors.
