Founded in 2002 in the shadow of 9/11, the Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards have honored an industry that is vital to our society and its citizens for almost two decades. Now in the midst of the global COVID – 19 pandemic, we approach this year’s awards with even more reverence and respect for the importance of our government contracting community, recognizing that the “front lines” today are manned by the men and women of our healthcare community.  We embrace the fact that companies are under economic stress which is in turn potentially impacting employees and their livelihoods.

The Greater Washington Government Contractor Award is the premier event honoring the leadership, innovation, and commitment to excellence of the people and businesses in the region’s government contracting community.

Presented by the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Services Council (PSC), the Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards winners are announced at an evening gala, which has been dubbed the "Academy Awards of Government Contracting." This unique networking event draws more than 1,000 industry and government leaders. Please contact Tammy Deem for details. 

This annual one-day, two-part event connects NVC members directly with Virginia’s senators, delegates, and state officials to reinforce the importance of Northern Virginia’s business community to Virginia’s economy.

The day begins with a series of curated private meetings, followed by a relaxed evening at the ticketed Viva Virginia cocktail reception, where attendees can continue networking with elected leaders.
