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.

The Difference: The VETS agenda is crafted by Veterans already doing business with the Federal government—Veteran Entrepreneurs who have walked in your shoes.
VETS 19 will bring together Federal agencies, Prime contractors, and Veterans to discuss how to take full advantage of the Federally mandated contracting opportunities set aside specifically for Veteran-owned small businesses.
Do you run a Veteran-owned or service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (VOSB/SDVOSB) and want to work with the government? Or do you want to team with a Veteran-owned company but aren’t sure how? Are you ready to take your business to the next level?
The National Veteran Small Business Coalitions has created VETS to help you accomplish your small business goals. The conference will provide you with the information you need to navigate the Federal acquisition process – from the government perspective as well as from successful veteran small business owners.
VETS connects thriving Veteran business owners with emerging Veteran entrepreneurs to expose the knowledge needed to acquire government contracts and teaming opportunities. While attending, also expect to network with government agencies, large companies, and potential clients and customers.
Veterans who have attained success are one of the best resources to help other Veterans follow suit. Register Now and see your small business succeed!
