DVRPC will partner on this project with the Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC) to develop a program designed to strengthen and diversify DoD's domestic supply chain, by establishing productive working relationships between the region's SMMs in the defense supply chain and DoD’s Manufacturing USA Innovation Institutes.
