Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 10:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST The first step
in preparing a proposal/bid is to read the solicitation from start to finish.
Often this first step is the reason small business owners don’t want to enter
the government contracting arena. The packages are large and seem to be full of
too many pages with too many words! To counter this information overload, the
reader needs to understand how a solicitation package is put together. With
this knowledge comes the confidence to read and understand the solicitation and
to know when key information is missing. This webinar is an introduction to the
various components of a solicitation as outlined using the formalized four-part
Uniform Contract Format (UCF). |
December 17APEX Accelerator Training: Conducting Targeted Research for Federal Contracting OpportunitiesTuesday, December 17, 2024 at 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm AKST Do you know
which federal agencies are buying those goods or services that your business is
selling? Do you know where to look for this information? The information is
posted for public review - you just need to know which database to look at and
how the information is coded. Honestly, it's easier than it sounds!
This webinar
will guide participants in building effective search criteria using the
classifications and keywords commonly employed by contracting staff. It will
demonstrate how to apply these criteria to conduct targeted market research for
upcoming solicitations and past contract activities through live demonstrations
of tools such as Contract Opportunities (Sam.gov), the Federal Procurement Data
System (FPDS.gov), USASpending.gov, agency websites, procurement forecast
websites, and DoD military budget websites. Attendees will also learn how to
leverage the gathered information to make informed business decisions. |
