The United States Government, and specifically the Department of Defense, is said to be one of the largest procurement entities in the world. With purchasing power that exceeds 700 billion dollars annually, the government has a presence in almost every industry vertical within the private sector. Hence, it is vital to understand government agencies’ purchase trends that match the capabilities of your business concern.

In this webinar, Patrick Kelley (PK Consulting Services) will take an in-depth look at what the government purchases and how to understand procurement data. He will also explain how to submit your products to be registered as items of approved supply. Specifically, you will learn the following:

  • How to register your product line

  • How to conduct market research about what products the government buys

  • How to submit source approval packages, and

  • What level of exposure your products will receive
