The Department of Defense, specifically the 409th Contracting Command, is hosting a Vendor Day in Suhl, Germany, aimed at educating regional companies about contracting opportunities with the U.S. military. This hybrid workshop will cover the contract award process, types of contracts available, and provide an introduction to the SAM.gov portal, serving as a central resource for government contracts. The event is particularly significant as it seeks to engage local businesses in Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, and Saxony, fostering competition and supplier diversity while reinforcing the U.S.-German relationship. Interested parties can contact Diego Caula at diego.f.caula.mil@army.mil for further details, with the event scheduled for April 4, 2024, at the Industrie- und Handelskammer (IHK) Südthüringen in Suhl.
