 Event description:

Did you know that SMALL BUSINESSES have unique advantages in federal marketplace? Each federal agency as well as large prime contractors with large contracts are required to set goals for participation by SMALL BUSINESSES in their Federal contracts.  Being small is definitely an advantage for Federal contractors.

• Is my business large or small?
• What does it mean to be affiliated with another business?
• How does this impact in my efforts to Joint Venture or develop a Mentor Protégé agreement with another business.
• If I am awarded a contract, how much of that contract can I subcontract out?
• What is the non-manufacturer rule?

The Federal small business contracting regulations may often seem confusing and overwhelming. Join the Wisconsin Procurement Institute and Dave Gordon, Size Determination Manager with the U.S. Small Business Administration for the answers to these questions and more!
