Doing Business With... U.S. Forest Service
The Small Business Administration is pleased to present a monthly series designed to connect you with the federal buying marketplace!
Each month, the SBA will host a "Doing Business With..." training and matchmaking event for different industries. You'll have the opportunity to pitch your product or service to decision makers - federal procurement officers that purchase in the industry in which you do business!
How can you benefit by attending? Federal agencies will share their inside tips on how to navigate the world of federal procurement. You'll learn what buyers are looking for and how the purchasing process works inside government agencies.
The business matchmaking session is your opportunity to meet in small groups with federal procurement officers to pitch your business capabilities and identify what buyers are a "fit" for your company.
There is no charge to attend, but pre-registration is required. Please register at www.annarborscore.com/sbaregister.html. You will receive a confirmation via email. Seating is limited, so please register early. Limit of two persons per company.
If you have any questions please contact Shaun McColley, SBA Business Opportunity Specialist, at shaun.mccolley@sba.gov.
