Monthly Introductory Webinars

Did you know government agencies purchase almost everything – from custodial, construction, and IT, to pencils, pet food, and even goats for grazing!

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

In these webinars you will learn:

  • What is the PTAC Program?
  • What is government contracting?
