Government Contracting Small Business Summit
Hosted by SECAF and George Mason University’s Greg and Camille Baroni Center for Government Contracting.
For over a decade, acquisition policy has sought to drive lower prices by favoring the broader use of category management and strategic sourcing in federal procurement. These initiatives, by definition, tend to whittle down the pool of eligible vendors and may therefore reduce the rate of participation by small and medium business in the industrial base. Thus, contract vehicles targeting small businesses have been a priority for agencies. This summit will focus on the opportunities and goals for small business seeking success in government acquisition.
