2016
Tue 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Topic: Government Contracting

Almost any type of business could potentially do business with the government directly, or they can learn how to pursue subcontracting opportunities with larger companies that hold these contracts. Most small businesses won't attempt to pursue government work because they believe they are too small. It can be done. Attendees will learn: • Market Statistics • What and how the government buys • Identifying opportunities • What it takes and how to get ready • Joint ventures and partnering considerations • Resources

Speaker(s): • Aundrea Y. Wilcox – KOSBE/Kingsport Chamber, “Choosing Your Next Growth Scenario” • Gloria Armstead – SBA, “Minority Enterprise Development Program” • Paul Middlebrooks – Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, “Accessing Bid Opportunities and Competing for Government Contracts” • Kathy Yakley – Tri-Cities Airport Authority, “Procurement Opportunities at the Airport”

Co-Sponsor(s): U. S. Small Business Administration; Tri-Cities Regional Airport, Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC)
