The Commercial Space Committee of the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce is working to bring commercial space opportunities to existing businesses in the Las Cruces area.  New Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA) will hold Pre-proposal briefings at Las Cruces City Hall on December 1 for potential contractors interested in bidding on three separate RFPs issued for work at Spaceport America.  Following the pre-proposal meetings, the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce will host an Industry Day event at the Las Cruces Convention Center.

Las Cruces Industry Day

Wednesday, December 1, 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Las Cruces Convention Center, 680 E. University Ave

The Industry Day event will bring local companies face-to-face with potential bidders so they can explore partnerships in responding to the RFPs.  Companies responding to the RFPs will need to provide services ranging from building maintenance and janitorial services, to environmental permitting, to email and software support.   Local firms that could provide subcontractor services as a part of any or all of the RFPs can register for a booth at the event.  Each of the companies that attend pre-bid meetings will be encouraged to attend the Industry Day to meet with potential local partners.

To register for the Industry Day event, email the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce at relo@lascruces.org or call them at (575) 524-1968.  Registration is free but you must be registered to participate.  Space is limited, please register soon!
