• DoD Office of Small Business Programs Survey (Due 09NOV)

  • When
    09 Nov 2025

  TASC/TGIC posting of this event does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by TASC/TGIC.

  The Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) is seeking input from small businesses to better understand how companies are preparing for the implementation of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements, which begin appearing in DoD contracts starting November 10, 2025. 

  Your voice is critical in helping the DoD keep informed about the real-time impact on small businesses so they can tailor the resources, support, and guidance during the transition. We encourage you to take just a few minutes to complete this short, anonymous survey: 

  Survey Link: https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/Kj8RFat4A8

  The survey explores your current readiness, concerns, challenges, and efforts related to CMMC compliance. Your responses will help ensure that the support small businesses receive is relevant, timely, and aligned with real-world needs. Feedback is due November 9. 

  Participation is completely voluntary, and you may choose to provide contact information if you'd like to stay informed or receive follow-up from the DoD OSBP team.

  Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important effort and for your continued role in supporting the defense industrial base.

  Who: Tidewater Association of Service Contractors (TASC) and Tidewater Government Industry Council (TGIC)

  What: TASC/TGIC Training Event: Advancements in AI: What does it mean for the security industry and your company?
  
  Format will be a one hour period of instruction and then a 30 minute Q&A section
  
  AI is revolutionizing all industries -- including security, moving it beyond reactive measures. This presentation dives into the acceleration of AI since ChatGPT first made waves as well as the different types of AI that currently exist. The presentation then highlights five pivotal trends in the security industry: AI-powered video analytics, analytics at the edge, intelligent sensor fusion, automation and orchestration of security operations, and cybersecurity integration with physical security. These advancements are creating more intelligent, proactive, and resilient security ecosystems. With these advancements and their current pace though, it's also vital to be aware of the implications and potential risks of AI.
