As a small business supplier to the federal government, it is vital that we leverage all free, publicly available tools for research about markets, agencies, competitors and contracts.
This webinar will help you to understand where to look, what to look for and how to begin leveraging these information sources to open the doors to opportunity for your business.
You will learn about free, publicly available tools that will enable you to understand the size and other characteristics of your addressable markets, your target agencies, competitors, contract and competition types and much more.
We’ll also review historical and forward-facing data, and explore tips and tricks for finding contact information.
Join Vikki Hawthorne, National Director, USWCC Supplier Development and Anna Urman, Virginia Procurement Technical Assistance Center Director for this vital session.
Note: This is a working session so be sure to bring your questions and challenges as you learn how to maximize the use of market research tools available from the government.
