Please join us on March 23, 2026, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. for the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Industry Day.

INL leads the State Department’s work to keep America safe through security assistance programs that enable foreign law enforcement and criminal justice sector partners to crack down on drugs and transnational crime abroad, fighting these threats at their source to protect American lives, defend our communities, and shield U.S. businesses from foreign criminal networks.  INL works in over 90 countries and has an annual assistance budget of $1.4 billion, with major program concentrations in the Western Hemisphere, East Asia and the Pacific, and Ukraine.

The purpose of this event is to educate small businesses on INL contracting opportunities and connect them with program managers and acquisition staff.  These face-to-face meetings also serve as a valuable tool in researching the market as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

The session will feature opening remarks from senior Department of State officials for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs on our global anti-crime and counternarcotics priorities.  The forecast of INL FY 2026 procurements can be found on the Department’s website here:  Procurement Forecast - United States Department of State (hyperlink can be found in the attached PDF).  INL program offices will be available to answer questions about our planned procurements.

Afterwards, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in networking with Department of State and industry representatives.

The venue has capacity for a maximum of 100 vendors.  Given the space limitation, we ask that businesses limit participation to one attendee each.  Registration will be on a first come basis, so please register early.

The deadline for registering via the link below is 5 p.m. March 17, 2026.  

Event location will be in Washington, DC and address will be provided upon confirmation of your registration.
