Event description

For smaller businesses, trying to win a massive federal contract through a multi-month RFP process can feel nearly impossible—especially during the chaotic fourth quarter "use-it-or-lose-it" spending crunch. But there is a major federal "speed lane" that most small firms completely overlook: The Government Purchase Card (GPC)!

Federal agencies face immense pressure to deplete their remaining budgets before September 30. Thanks to the newly increased $15,000 Federal Micro-Purchase Threshold, agencies can bypass the formal bidding process and instantly buy commercial products or services using a government credit card.

Even better? The historic April 2026 Executive Order mandating Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contracts has placed massive administrative burdens on traditional, complex contracts. Because a micro-purchase is inherently a fixed-price, commercial transaction, it is exactly the low-friction solution federal buyers are desperate for this August.

What You'll Learn

During this webinar, we will tear down the barriers to federal entry. You will learn how to

  • Bypass the contracting office
  • Target the actual end-users who hold the credit cards
  • Package your business as a "swipe-ready" solution before the fiscal year ends.

Who Should Attend

  • Micro-Businesses
  • Solo-Consultants
  • B2G Startups
  • First-Time Federal Contractors
  • Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Providers
