Micro Awards: Gateway to DOD Contracting
Micro Awards: Gateway to DOD Contracting
Learn essential tips and tricks on how to do business with the U.S. Department of Defense.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has the largest budget of any federal agency, by far. In an effort to improve their spending with qualified small businesses, Small Business Professionals (SBPs) have been hired to act as a go-between with the small business community and the military contracting officers responsible for buying goods and services. These SBPs can provide you with guidance and assist with doing business at their particular military base or defense organization.
Webinar Topics Include:
- How to engage with Small Business Professionals (SBPs)
- How to prepare before contacting an SBP
- What can SBPs do for your business?
- What can SBPs not do for your business?
- What are micro awards?
- How to find micro award opportunities
