About the event
It’s no secret that federal government contract awards are hard to earn. This is becoming truer and truer as Uncle Sam continues to consolidate procurement opportunities.
In this age of consolidated contracts and increased competition, small business contractors must take every advantage to best position themselves for award. Thankfully, the Small Business Administration offers great tools to do so: its mentor/protégé program and through small business joint ventures or teaming.
