Welcome

The Department of Defense (DoD) Northeast Regional Council (NERC) for Small Business Education and Advocacy welcomes you and invites you to use the resources on our website.

Our Council is one of seven Regional Councils established for the purpose of promoting Federal Small Business Programs. The NERC represents all of New England as well as New York.

For Small Businesses, NERC can help you find Government Prime Contracting and Subcontracting opportunities through Matchmakers, other events and by putting you in touch with your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) and other on-line sources.

For Small Business Liaison Officers (SBLOs), NERC can provide training, alert you to upcoming matchmaker and other events and provide networking opportunities to help you build and improve your Small Business Program.

For Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs), NERC can advocate your state’s mission by providing guidance and assistance with promoting matchmakers and other events.

For Federal Agencies, NERC provides up-to-date information on Matchmaker, training and other events to further small business programs throughout the New England and New York region.
