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\ncorrectly register your business on SAM.GOV. Then once you’re registered on the site\, using SAM.GOV’s database to understand which agencies offer sole source and set-aside contracts using specific certifications. \nWebinar topics include:’ \n\nDoing Business with the Federal Government\n– Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)\n– Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB)\n– Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)\n– Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB)\n– 8(a) Business Development Program\n– HUBZone\nSole Source\, Set-Aside and Subcontracting Opportunities\nOverview of each federal certification and how to qualify\nThe application process and timeline\nSAM.GOV – Where it all starts\n– Using SAM.GOV to find new opportunities and marketing research\n\nFacilitator: Tara Cruz \nNote: Our services and programs are open to all entrepreneurs.
