- Description
- Supporting Small Businesses: Best Practices in Subcontracting Subcontracting can provide small businesses with opportunities to participate in USDA contracting opportunities by participating in contracts that they cannot win on their own. In Fiscal Year 2013, the Department of Agriculture awarded purchases in the totatl amount of $4.9 Billion to prime contractors. The primes then have awarded subcontracts in excess of a billion dollars. On Tuesday, April 15th, you are invited to the USDA Small Business Connections (SBC) where small businesses will learn about subcontracting policies, and will hear from a panel of companies that have successfully performed as primes and subcontractors. They will share their experiences on strengthening existing contract relationships, and identifying opportunities. At this event you will hear from representatives of large businesses discussing how they have teamed with small business subcontractors and what factors enter into their selection decisions. Please join us on April 15th from 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM in the back of the USDA South Building Cafeteria located at 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC. For more information, please contact Mr. Shawn E. Kerkes at Shawn.Kerkes@dm.usda.gov. REGISTRATION IS FREE FOR THIS EVENT. TO REGISTER, PLEASE VISIT WWW.DM.USDA.GOV/OSDBU/SBC.HTM.
