The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will host a business to business Vendor Outreach Matchmaking Event (VOME) in support of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) National Small Business Week (NSBW). The goal is to support small businesses by assisting with connections with large businesses and/or other small businesses to increase capabilities, encourage participation in federal contracting, and strengthen the vendor base and ultimately the security of the United States.
- Virtual one-on-one 15-minute meeting(s) between large and small businesses.
- An opportunity to present capabilities and to have potential discussions outside of the VOME.
- An opportunity for new entrants to establish a relationship with large businesses currently doing business with DHS or other federal agencies and/or actively seeking opportunities.
