- Description
- MINORITY INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION & MINORITY-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS Government Contracting Workshop ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Secretary (OS), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) provides information for organizations interested in doing business with the Federal Government. A series of government contracting (govcon) workshops are being held in a variety of locations throughout the United States to provide information to Minority Institutions of Higher Education (MIHE) staff and Minority Owned Small Business (MOSB) representatives to 1) become familiar with processes and procedures associated with federal government contracting; and 2) to identify and pursue contract opportunities with HHS. The objective of these workshops is to engage, equip and inform the MIHE and MOSB participants of the federal procurement process so that they become more effective in pursuing contracting opportunities at HHS. COST: FREE WORKSHOP DATES & LOCATIONS September 20-21, 2011 Coppin State University, Baltimore, MD September 27-28, 2011 North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/REGISTRATION For more information and to register, visit http://fedgovconworkshops.com/. For businesses, there is a limit of 2 representatives per company per workshop. If you have questions regarding the event, please contact us at fedgovconworkshops@d2dinc.com. AGENDA The synopsis of the agenda is below. The full agenda is available on the website. Day One • Introduction to Government Contracting • Understanding Procurement Methods • The Government's Internal Process • Small Business Classifications & Certification Programs • Guest Speaker • Other Business Opportunities • Marketing to the Government & HHS Day Two • Introduction to FAR and Compliance Issues • Contract Pricing & Cost Proposals • Guest Speaker • Technical Proposals WHO SHOULD ATTEND? MOSBs and MIHEs that are interested in pursuing government contracts or who have initiated the process, but have not yet been successful should attend a workshop. This includes business owners, MIHE faculty and staff. I work for a MIHE. Why Should I Attend? In this economy, Institutions need additional sources of funding. The Federal Government is an excellent resource to fund and get grants for research projects. MIHE faculty and staff should attend a workshop so they understand the government contracting environment and have the tools necessary to navigate the government processes. This is a Two-Day Event. I'm a Teacher and Can't Afford to Miss Classes. We understand that class schedules may overlap with the workshop schedule. There is no requirement to attend the entire workshop. Come to the session(s) that are convenient for your schedule. I already know the basics of government contracting. How will this workshop help me? You may be familiar with the basics; however this workshop will delve deeper. You will also gain insight about the proposal development process, which will position you to submit compliant proposals.
