Description
Minority Businesses that are seeking to grow their business should attend this thought-provoking session to learn how to best position your company to successfully compete for federal contracts that will be awarded in Fiscal Year 2016.
The Federal Government is the largest purchaser of products and services. Each year, the federal government spends more than $1 trillion in goods and services and more than $500 billion is directed to small and disadvantaged businesses.
Come hear what these Federal Program Managers are saying about their agency’s forecasted procurements and socioeconomic programs for veteran-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, certified HUBZone and 8(a) firms.
