On Tuesday, August 30, 2022, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) in collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) will host a Vendor Outreach Matchmaking Event (VOME) for the third generation of the National Multiple Award Construction Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contracts (NMACC III).  This event will focus on matchmaking for small and other than small businesses that provide construction, architectural and engineering, and construction related services.

Firms interested in the USCG NMACC III requirement as either a prime or subcontractor for the three pools: Pool #1 - Unrestricted – Full and Open; Pool #2 – Small Business Pool–East; or Pool #3 – Small Business Pool – West are encouraged to register for this event. Prior to registering, firms should review the active NMACC III Opportunity ID 70Z04721RNMACC03 at https://sam.gov/opp/635c68948dce446f9831986a93420b04/view, which includes the Pool #1 draft solicitation, and the Virtual Industry Day recording.

The NMACC III VOME will be held virtually to connect businesses in a variety of ways, which includes the discussion of potential subcontracting opportunities; forming joint-venture or teaming partnerships; and facilitating discussions that may lead to mentor-protégé relationships. This event provides a virtual space where both large and small businesses can present their core capabilities. Each meeting will be 15 minutes established by matching of core competencies and lines of businesses as identified by each firms North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code(s).

Only those businesses that are primarily engaged in supplies/services under the following NAICS Sector and Subsectors should sign up for this event:

Registration is open at https://nmaccvome.mbmapp.com/ until 11:59 PM EDT, Friday, August 26, 2022. All firms can begin to request meetings on Friday, August 19, 2022. The delay between registration and the date to request meetings is to allow for a robust database of participating firms.

We encourage businesses to upload their capability statements when registering for the NMACC III VOME. Each registrant will request to meet with other businesses that align with services or products they provide or are seeking. Registration does not guarantee a meeting and each business will decide which requests meet their needs by acceptance of the meeting request(s).

A valid email address is required in each registration profile that is compatible with various virtual tools (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, etc.). Once your firm receives confirmation of a confirmed meeting from the scheduling site, a follow-up email with the virtual meeting information will be provided. NOTE: If connectivity issues occur using the virtual tools, participants can hold their session telephonically.

Rescheduling of missed meetings is the responsibility of the firms effected.
