Government Contracting for Small Businesses - 9/25
Casper (GRO-Biz Procurement Technical Assistance Center) -- The Federal Government spends approximately $300 billion annually, purchasing just about every type of product and service you can think of. Approximately $300 million of that total is spent in Wyoming, and they are interested in bringing small businesses into their supply chain.
In fact, most federal agencies have contracting quotas that include purchasing from small, minority, and disadvantaged businesses.
If you are interested in marketing your products and services to Federal, State, and/or local government agencies, you need to attend this seminar. Learn about the required registrations, how to join the Bid Match program, what products and services federal agencies are currently purchasing, and more.
Sponsored by GRO-Biz Procurement Technical Assistance Center and co-sponsored by the Wyoming Small Business Development Center, the Natrona County Public Library and the Casper Area Chamber of Commerce, the program will take place on September 25 from Noon until 1:30 pm.
Registration for this seminar is free of charge and includes lunch, but please sign-up at the library, or call them at 237-4935, X2 so we have a meal count. Deadline to register is Sept. 18.
