Organization Name: Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center
Location: Classes offered across the state of Georgia. See details below. Pre-registration is required via URL shown below.

Want to learn how to business with large government prime contractors? If so, you will want to attend this three-hour seminar.

Since the government is “bundling” so many of their contracts, becoming a subcontractor may be the only way some small businesses can get their feet in the door. Becoming a subcontractor can not only be rewarding but less complicated than competing for a government prime contract. Many prime contractors continuously seek good small business suppliers to meet their needs and satisfy the requirements of their government subcontracting plans. You may have just what they are looking for and should consider attending this seminar.
