MICC issues small business event scam alert

Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Affairs

The fraudulent event depicted in the graphic with this article was falsely advertised as an event at “Fort Stewart” scheduled for August of 2025; however, no such is event occurring.

Mission and Installation Contracting Command mission and industry partners are cautioned to be aware of scams posing as small business events allegedly hosted by the government. Many of these scams are asking participants to remit a fee for fake events.

PLEASE NOTE: MICC does not charge fees for small business events. Verify any and all future event links by reaching out to a small business professional using the contact information on the MICC small business webpage: https://www.army.mil/micc#org-small-business.

Additionally, any legitimate MICC small business event, like the 2025 APBI May 5-8, will be widely publicized through official MICC social media, the MICC small business webpage and published as a special notice announcement https://sam.gov/.
