Did you know federal government agencies purchase over $500B in supplies, services, and construction annually? If you can name it, the federal government probably buys it.

The best part of federal spending is that 23% of all contract actions are set-aside for small businesses. Federal government contracting might be right for you if you’re an established business with a record of past performance and financial security.

Join us to discover the necessary preparation for doing business with the federal government. We’ll help you determine if selling to the federal government is right for you and teach you the basics of how to get started and be successful.

This webinar will give you a run-down of what you need to know and how to prepare for success in the federal government marketplace. From “Am I ready?” to submitting your first proposal, this webinar will set you on the path to success with federal agencies.

Webinar Topics Include:

  • Are you ready for federal contracting?
  • North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
  • Product & Service Codes (PSC)
  • SBA size standards
  • System for Award Management (SAM) registration requirements
  • Small business certifications
