Federal Contracting Certifications for Small Businesses

Event description

This event is a webinar designed for business owners who are interested in applying for a federal certification, and for those who already have one, but want advice on how to take full advantage of their certification. Attendees will learn about each Federal socio-economic certification, how to qualify, the application process, and the pro’s and con’s of each certification. This webinar will also discuss how certifications actually work in federal contracting.

We will also cover the website SAM.GOV and its importance, challenges, and opportunities. The very first step in seeking federal contracts and getting a federal certification is being able to correctly register a business on SAM.GOV. Then once the business owner registered on the site, using SAM.GOV’s database to understand which agencies offer sole source and set-aside contracts using specific certifications.
