Recognition and Awards

2003 Annual Champion of Veterans Enterprise Award


On June 14, the VA's Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE held their 3rd Annual Champions of Veterans Enterprise Awards Ceremony in the Colonial Room of the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. This very special event recognizes significant contributions by organizations and individuals who are dedicated to expanding business opportunities for veterans and service-connected disabled veterans. Awards are presented in four leadership categories: Federal Sector, Support Sector, Individual Achievement and the Vendor Information Pages facility and individual awards.

In Fiscal Year 2003, the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Port Hueneme, CA awarded 4.6% of its total procurement dollars to veteran-owned small businesses. That's more than $10 Million! Service-disabled, veteran-owned small business firms received 3.28% of the dollars. The Port Hueneme Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center is the only major Navy contracting activity to exceed the legislated service-disabled veterans' performance goal in FY 2003. The results reflect a high degree of focus, business acumen and savvy by activity command and acquisition personnel to be able to achieve the excellent performance noted for the year.

Port Hueneme provides Engineering Support for shipboard combat and weapons systems. Their principal mission is to support and assist the fleet by ensuring that warfare systems enable ships and sailors who sail in harm's way to fight and win. Their achievement culminates a multi-year outreach and planning effort and shows that the 3% goal is not only achievable, it is exceedable!
