North Carolina Military Business Center
The NCMBC’s primary goal is to help existing businesses identify, bid on and win military and other federal contracts.

With six major military bases and the fourth highest number of military personnel in the country, North Carolina created the NCMBC to leverage more of this business for firms in the state.http://www.ncmbc.us/index.php
