Small Business Federal Govt. Contracting Event
by US Congressman Don Bacon
(NE-02)
Congressman Bacon’s Small Business Procurement Conference is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to get immediate access to contracting agencies, as well as to information that will impact their business today.
Representatives from the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) at the Nebraska Business Development Center, the Defense Logistics Agency (Small Business Office), and the Defense Contract Management Agency will show you how to do business with the federal government.
The contracting offices from the 55th Wing at Offutt AFB, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Omaha Division), the National Park Service (Midwest Region), and the Department of Veterans Affairs will be on hand to talk about the products and services they are looking to receive. Additionally, there will be time for one on one with all of the presenting agencies to ensure you gain as much information as you need to contract with these federal agencies.
