MOSA was codified into law in 2017 via the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Fiscal Year (FY) 17 Section 805 which became Title 10 U.S.C. 4401, 4402, 4403 with the intent of acquiring more interoperable and reconfigurable capabilities by fostering more competitive solutions at both the program and component level and opening the door to further collaboration between industry and government. Learn how to navigate MOSA to build your business and win more work.

Panelists: Mark Spencer, Avilution, Steve Tomita, Booz Allen Hamilton, government representatives. Moderator: Patrick Ward, Booz Allen Hamilton.

Session 5: Continuous Integration and Testing for Modular Development, Testing shouldn’t just be reserved for the end of the development process.

Join us for a unique opportunity to connect with key stakeholders, discover new business opportunities, and expand your network within the federal government sector.
This event is designed to facilitate one-on-one meetings between suppliers, manufacturers, and procurement officers from the Department of Defense, other governmental agencies, and prime contractor OEMs, aiming to enhance collaboration and integration across the defense supply chain.
We are also hosting a free webinar series on government contracting to help you prepare for your potential matchmaking session! Whether you are new to government contracting or have been a contractor for years, this series has something for everyone!
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the U.S. Department of Defense prioritized the modernization of factories to increase the global competitiveness of American manufacturing. “Buy American” legislation refers to a set of laws, policies, and regulations that encourage or require federal government agencies and entities receiving federal funding to purchase American-made products and materials. The goal is to promote domestic manufacturing, support local jobs, and strengthen the national economy.
This event provides an opportunity for manufacturers (sellers) in the Midwest to meet with government primes/OEMS (prospective buyers).
Who Should Attend
The ideal attendees are:
- Representatives from small and mid-sized manufacturers who currently sell into the defense industrial base but would like to explore additional sales opportunities
- Representatives from small and mid-sized manufacturers who would like to expand their sales channels into the defense industrial base
- Manufacturers who want to be matched with small and mid-sized manufacturers for support with supply chain needs

ATI Education | Breaking into GovCon from a DCAA Perspective
Join Defense Contract Audit Agency as we break down the impact of the 2019 GAO “Contract Financing” report and the subsequent Office of the Under Secretary of the Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Defense Pricing and Contracting finance study, which cited government compliant accounting systems, Cost Accounting Standards, and FAR Cost Principles as barriers to entry for small businesses looking to enter the Defense Industrial Base. During this presentation, DCAA will look at the types of contract awards and the requirements for each, as well as the common misconceptions of FAR, CAS, and TINA.

Capital is the lifeblood of the US economy. The small business lending market in the US is estimated at $1.4 trillion with thousands of organizations relying upon outside capital for funding operations. However, for many innovators in our ecosystem, their time is spent building and developing mission critical technologies, not financial models.
As the nation’s leader in R&D collaboration management, Advanced Technology International (ATI) is facilitating a series of discussions featuring financial institutions and investors on the role of capital and financial tools for the emerging R&D community.
Join us as we get back to basics, providing a foundational overview of capital structure and financial products that are most useful to small businesses in the R&D community.
