February Outreach Seminar and Matchmaker

Start the new fiscal year off right

February Outreach provides business development opportunities for vendors in a setting where they can get personal attention in successfully marketing their products, services and supplies to Defense and Civilian procurement representatives, primes, and acquisition personnel.

There is no substitute for face to face networking:

There is a saying: "20% of the small businesses get 80% of the business". Why? Because they have forged a personal business relationship with the Agency. This includes knowing the key players by sight (even better if they know you by sight) as well as understanding the Agency's Mission and knowing how your goods and or services fit into their goals.

The truth is that there is less than "full and open competition" as you might initially interpret it to mean. It is vital to understand the government contracting environment as it actually operates. This includes both the written and unwritten rules.

Increase both your Federal IQ and Federal Presence:

If your company is a Small Business, (8(a), Small and Disadvantaged Business, Small and Woman Owned Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, Native American Owned Business, Veteran Owned Business, HUBZone, you MUST plan on attending this one day Seminar.
