Government Contracting 101: Doing Business with the Government

Interested in diversifying your customer base or expanding your revenue stream? Doing business with the government is a great way to introduce your business to a new marketplace. Each year, the federal government purchases hundreds of billions of dollars in goods and services. PTAC can help position your company to pursue these opportunities.

This workshop aims to further develop the small business vendor that is already established and in business and also those new to the government marketplace.

This webinar will be presented by the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). They are trained contracting specialists that will help you obtain the most current and relevant information available, provide insight into the research process and coach you through the government contracting process, from start to finish.
