53 days until the end of the Fiscal Year-- and this year seems to be even crazier than most with the EOY funding coming in at the very last minute. Just a reminder for the Federal buyers (contracting officers, program managers, government executives) in my network, as well as any partner firms looking for a Prime that can get a contract in place quickly: **WWC Global is now part of the Pequot Community of Companies, a tribally-owned entity.** What does this mean for you? We have the ability to do a direct award up to $25m in Federal agencies, and up to $100m in DoD. NON-PROTESTABLE and quick-turn. (We've done a direct award in under 2 hours... I wouldn't advise that quick of a turn again, but 2-4 weeks is absolutely reasonable). We are still the same great firm as we were pre-sale, with all of the abilities to deliver the highest-quality work effectively and efficiently. The only thing that has changed, really, are the tools that we have with our tribally-owned status. Please get in touch with me if you have EOY needs that we can help fill. #Triballyowned #GovCon #EOY

The Navy’s system commands put on a clinic (quite a few of them) at last week’s #SeaAirSpace conference for suppliers and service providers looking to do business. Here’s a few key takeaways for getting in the door: • Be aware of resources for upcoming opportunities and small business guidance. NAVSUP’s Long Range Acquisition Forecast is current as of December 2023 (https://lnkd.in/eQqn2fjV), NECO provides daily procurement updates (https://www.neco.navy.mil/), and you can view DLA solicitations in DIBSS (https://lnkd.in/eKTNtUft). For small businesses, APEX Accelerators provide highly recommended consulting and training on getting into the defense supply chain. (https://lnkd.in/eHEQ9w2M) • Prospective Weapons System Support vendors need to build in time for requirements and pre-approval steps, like each procuring activity’s unique technical data transfer processes (e.g. NATEC for NAVAIR, FOIA for USMC) and site surveys for critical items. • For vendors challenged with navigating payment systems, consider registering with the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment, which hosts training and practical resources. (https://lnkd.in/eSJEC42m) • For major IDIQs like WEXMAC 2.0, NAVSUP recommends small businesses seek opportunities for subcontracting experience before trying to get on the schedule as a prime. In Ward & Berry’s own experience, contracting across the global FLC environment presents unique challenges to getting awarded and paid, where performance and documentation of performance may all occur within a several-day port visit. It’s important to have the right tools and advice to develop a solid relationship with the system command customer and local activity.

Thoroughly enjoyed attending my first IAV show yesterday catching up with ADS Group Ltd members and listening to Lt Gen Dame Sharon Nesmith, DCGS keynote speech outlining their vision to become most modern and lethal army in Europe emphasising for land power to be credible it needs to be integrated, resilient through a strong industrial base and across all domains, all under pinned through partnerships. However DCGS warned that there are storm clouds re-gathering touching on four key points 1. Need more programs on contract as head into uncertain political times. 2. Risk is exacerbated by tight resources. 3. Global significant supply chain challenges. 4. The struggle to resource with people and skills they need. We were delighted to support the first Land Enterprise Working Group (LEWG) Executive Group meeting co-chaired with DCGS and Lt Gen Simon Hamilton, in his new role as DGL, with a senior turn out representing Primes, Mid-Tiers and SMEs in the room. This Exec Group will play and integral part in supporting and direction for the main LEWG that ADS are proud to support. As ever, it was also good to hear from Brig Toby Lambert giving an update on the Land Industrial Strategy (LIS) that is moving forward with pace. A great deal was covered with key next steps addressing the policy choices for critical sectors and industrial capabilities including: a.      International competition by default b.      Long term investment with focus on UK value c.      Sector specific strategies for resilience d.      Secure critical UK industrial capabilities through guaranteed order book capability e.      Govt ownership of critical industrial capabilities Thanks also go to an insightful update from Colonel Stuart Nasse on the recently formed Rapid Acquisition Team who evidently are delivering and living up to their name which presents another great opportunity for UK industry. #IAV2024 #defence #networking #landindustry #businessdevelopment
