The seminar will be held at the Center for Research and Economic Development at Waynesburg University.
The federal government spends about $300 billion annually on a variety of goods and services to support its operations. Purchases include items such as office supplies, cleaning equipment and supplies, software, and machined parts. Service-related procurements range from janitorial and construction services to environmental and information technology services.
To ensure that small businesses get their fair share of government contracts, statutory goals have been established for federal executive agencies. The goal established for awarding contracts and subcontracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses is 3 percent. There is a best-faith effort for doing business with veteran-owned businesses.
This free seminar will provide veteran-owned businesses with information on federal government procurement processes, regulations and contracting opportunities. A representative from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Center for Veterans Enterprise will discuss key legislation that supports veteran business owners, as well as the programs that are available through CVE to assist veterans in pursuing federal contracts.
Seminar attendees also will hear from prime contractors and government agencies regarding their contracting opportunities.
