USDA Small Business Event

The Small Business Connections is an outreach program of USDA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).  Each month small businesses are invited to attend a meeting to network, learn from one another and make critical connections to help expand small businesses interactions with USDA.

Event attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a ninety minute event full of learning discussions led by program and small business procurement officials from USDA.

The Small Business Connections is for your company if:

-  You wish to expand knowledge of USDA's procurement priorities;
-  You want to network with other small and large businesses; and
-  You desire to build relationships with Small Business Specialists.

During each topic-specific meeting, small business owners will hear from a presenter who will provide invaluable insigths.

Join us on Tuseday, July 22nd from 9:00 AM - 11:30 Am to learn about the End of Fiscal year Requirements 2014 business opportunities USDA will need to partner with small business to fulfill its program needs.  With the passing of the Farm Bill, programs will be fulfilling their annual requirements.  Small business participation will be critical for executing these requirements at all spending levels.  You'll hear from a panel of senior program and procurement executives discussing their procurement priorities for the end of FY14.  These presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
