GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING
  John Gallagher, VP Government Relations, VGM - 

"How to WIN a VA Contract”

In this presentation you will learn the best way for a small business to grow the federal government as a customer. Unfortunately, many small businesses find it difficult to get a foot in the door. Many government agencies’ buying practices--including contract bundling and the failure to go to outside established vendor networks--make it difficult for small businesses to bid on and win federal contracts. During this presentation you will learn about VA acquisition purposes, Veteran and Small Businesses must be independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which they are bidding on Government contracts, and otherwise qualify as Small Businesses under the criteria and size standards developed by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
