Defense Mfg Initiative
Did you know the U.S. Government is the world's largest purchaser? In 2010 alone, the Department of Defense (DoD) will purchase $680 billion in goods and services.
Did you know that North Carolina has the 3rd largest military presence? Unfortunately, North Carolina ranks 42nd in DoD spending.
In order to help North Carolina machine shops grow their businesses and bring more DoD contract dollars into the state, the North Carolina Aerospace Alliance (NCAA) and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) have established the North Carolina Defense Machining Initiative.
The North Carolina Defense Machining Initiative evaluates open Request for Quotes (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) for machined aerospace and other repair parts that are posted on the Defense Logistics Agency's electronic bid board (DIBBS). Open solicitations (RFQs and RFPs) with sufficient technical data to support bidding and manufacturing operations are identified and then reposted to SourceNC.com. Through SourceNC.com opportunities are made available to North Carolina machine shops and other North Carolina Aerospace Alliance members. The goal is to help these companies eliminate the complex process of finding qualified opportunities so that they may win more DoD contracts and grow their businesses.
If you represent a North Carolina machine shop and your company has the equipment, capacity and expertise to machine aerospace parts for DoD, the North Carolina Defense Machining Initiative is for you.
