Welcome to the Team SUB Small Business Sustainment Technology Showcase, capitalizing on small businesses for sustainment and maintenance technology needs.

NCMS is partnering with NAVSEA to host the Small Business Sustainment Technology Showcase, September 16-17, 2020. This virtual event will be an introduction to innovative technologies from Small Businesses that will assist the Program Executive Offices (PEO) with a broad spectrum and high level of shipyard modernization efforts. Government participants will be key decision-makers for a wide variety of initiatives. At this event, industry participants will learn more about NAVSEA’s current needs and what may be coming in the near future.

Exhibitors: The purpose of this event is to introduce the decision-makers with the Submarine PEOs at the Washington Navy Yard to innovative maintenance and sustainment technologies from small businesses around the United States.

Please be aware that this event is open to small businesses only.

  • We know that many of you are still working from home and distractions can be plentiful! If you need to leave the meeting, please hang up and re-dial in when you are ready to join again.
  • DO NOT PLACE THE CONFERENCE LINE ON HOLD. The hold music that will play for the rest of the group will distract from the tasks at hand.
  • Always keep your microphone on mute unless you are speaking. With such a large group, it’s necessary to avoid even the slightest background noises so that audio is clear.
  • Stay present and embrace the virtual forum! It may be tempting to carry on a side conversation or check your inbox during a quiet moment, but try to refrain. You might miss out on key information or an opportunity to give valuable input.
