The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will host a Vendor Outreach Session (VOS). This session is for all Small Businesses.
The VOS provide small businesses with the platform to discuss their capabilities and learn about DHS procurements and large business subcontracting and partnering opportunities.
Counselors for VOS include representatives from:
DHS Headquarters Office of Procurement Operations (OPO),
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA),
Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC),
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
U.S. Coast Guard (USCG),
United States Citizen & Immigration Services (USCIS),
U.S. Secret Service (USSS)
Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR).
Large business counselors will discuss various areas of collaboration to include subcontracting opportunities, joint ventures, and mentor-protégé program relationships.
NOTE: if you have previously met with a DHS component within the last three months, please consider this before registering for any VOS. Direct contact with the component small business specialists to schedule a follow-up discussion outside of VOS is preferred. This allows more opportunities for other small businesses who have not met with DHS to request a meeting and discuss their capabilities.
All small businesses that have
previously registered to participate in VOS must update their profile to
complete additional mandatory fields. Some businesses may need to
re-register.
After being
matched by the registration system, small businesses must request a
meeting(s) with a counselor.
Meeting requests can be requested up to
three business days after each VOS opens.
The
counselor will review the small business capabilities and core
competencies provided. If those capabilities match with the needs of the
counselor, the meeting request may be accepted, and a confirmation
email will be sent to the company primary email address.
Small
businesses without a confirmation email or a confirmed meeting in the
dashboard do not have a meeting scheduled and will not be able to
participate in VOS for that specific month.Meeting spaces are still limited.
Small businesses are to register and confirmations of meetings will be able to view meeting(s) in the company profile dashboard in the DHS VOS Scheduling System.
