Small Manufacturers Defense Initiative
Pennsylvania’s Gateway to DoD Contracting

Wars can be won and lost with supply chain management. The Small Manufacturers Defense Initiative (SMDI) Program creates opportunities for small and medium sized manufacturers in Pennsylvania to contribute to the national challenge of defense supply chain performance.
Our mission is to provide the U.S. Army and its supporting contractors with a single access point to a variety of capable Pennsylvania suppliers. This program is offered to qualified suppliers and buyers at no cost.
Buyer Benefits: Why become a buyer in the SMDI Program?
The SMDI Program is a gateway that bridges the gap between buyers and qualified suppliers in defense contracting. If you’re a DoD buyer, your participation in this program can rapidly expand your network of capable suppliers. This is made possible by the Supplier Capability Assessment process developed by the SMDI team.
