Acquisition Hour: First Steps to Entry in the Federal Market

October 27, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Acquisition Hour

Are you ready to position your business for government contracting success? This Acquisition Hour provides a practical introduction to three foundational tools every federal government contractor and subcontractor should understand: the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), the Small Business Search (SBS) profile and database, and the Capabilities Statement.

Participants will learn the purpose and importance of maintaining an accurate SAM.gov registration, how contracting officers and prime contractors use the SBA’s Small Business Search (SBS/ formerly DSBS) to identify potential suppliers, and what information should be included in an effective capabilities statement. The session will also cover common registration mistakes and hang-ups, profile optimization tips, and best practices for presenting your company to government buyers and teaming partners.

Whether you are new to government contracting or looking to strengthen your marketing presence in the federal marketplace, this webinar will provide actionable guidance to help increase your visibility and readiness for contracting opportunities.
