By Suzanne Zurn Office of Small Business Programs

 

This week, members of our leadership team participated in the DoD’s Innovation Capability and Modernization (ICAM) office’s Networking Days event at the Lockheed Martin Global Vision Center in Crystal City, Va. with representatives from industry, academia, government program offices, and the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization (MCIEP) directorate. Mr. Farooq Mitha, OSBP Director, shared information about the mission of the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs, recent updates to its programs, and resources. Ms. Kasey Diaz, OSBP Deputy Director, also met with attendees and connected them to OSBP resources including the Department’s Mentor-Protégé Program.

ICAM manages and executes the Department’s Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program, which aims to improve the readiness and competitiveness of the U.S. industrial base by establishing high priority domestic capabilities for new supply chains needed for national security and mitigating exposure to global supply chain risks.
