Government Contracting Series
The U.S. Government is the largest customer in the world, buying all types of products and services — in both large and small quantities. By law, the U.S. Government is required to consider buying from small businesses. The U.S. Government buys from small businesses to:
• Support small businesses as engines of economic development &job creation
• Offer opportunities to disadvantaged socio-economic groups
• Gain access to the new ideas that small businesses provide
• Ensure that large businesses don’t “muscle out” small businesses
Join the SBA Connecticut District Office in our series of Contracting workshops, where you will learn how to get started in marketing/selling to federal agencies and improve your probability of being “found” by Federal contracting offices and large Federal Prime Contractors.
