Description
We’re excited to invite you and local small businesses to a special forum with the United States General Services Administration, GSA, on how to secure a government contract.
The government buys everything. The GSA facilitates over $84 billion of products, services and solutions that enable federal agencies to efficiently accomplish their missions while saving taxpayer dollars. Small businesses in Santa Clara County have an opportunity to be one of those contracts that provides these products, services, and solutions. Click HERE to read more about selling to the government through the GSA.
The GSA provides agencies with access to American-made products and domestic suppliers while supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility of federal procurement. From paperclips to tanks, 5% of those purchases must be awarded to "small disadvantaged businesses" which includes AAPI & Latino-owned small businesses. This forum will open a pathway for many local businesses to create new opportunities for their products and services.
