McGuire, Fort Dix, Lakehurst personnel invited to small business fair Published Aug. 5, 2009 By 87th Mission Support Group JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST -- The 87th Air Base Wing will host the 2009 Joint Base Small Business Procurement Fair Aug. 14, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the McGuire Community Center. Base personnel, including government purchase cardholders and resource advisors from all organizations, are encouraged to attend. Vendors from the surrounding area will set up exhibits to showcase products and services available to meet Joint Base M-D-L mission needs. "Small businesses have played a vital role in the accomplishment of McGuire's mission throughout the years," said Lidija Erazo, 87th Air Base Wing small business specialist. "As the installations are posturing to face new challenges as DoD's only tri-service Joint Base, our goal is to strengthen that relationship and make small businesses the supplier of choice for McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst warfighters." "We welcome all members from McGuire, Fort Dix and Lakehurst to come out, meet the vendors, and learn more about the types of products and services they have to offer," she said. Organizations in attendance will include the Regional Small Business Administration, Fort Dix, Lakehurst, and Fort Monmouth small business specialists, and representatives from the New Jersey Information Technology and Rutgers University Small Business Development Centers. "We're looking forward to another successful procurement fair," Ms. Erazo said. For more information, call Ms. Erazo at (609) 754-5929, or Senior Airman Erica Gilmore at (609) 754-8516.
