# DIA Hosts Small Business Briefings

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is conducting virtual "Introduction to DIA for Small Business" briefings aimed at educating U.S.-owned small businesses on how to engage and contract with the agency. These sessions, held via Microsoft Teams, provide program highlights and a Q&A segment to clarify contracting processes and opportunities within the intelligence community. Registration is limited to one U.S. citizen representative per company on a first-come, first-served basis, emphasizing the importance of timely response for interested small businesses.

- These briefings offer actionable insights into DIA’s program needs, enabling companies to better tailor their proposals and business development strategies.
