Government contracting is about building relationships with agencies, prime contractors, and business resources. Government contracting opportunities with a total value under $25,000 are not required to be posted publicly. For these opportunities, it is vital to have a relationship with the buyers and to be on an agency’s vendor/bid list so that you are contacted for a quote. This is an opportunity to connect with multiple government buyers and prime contractors at one time, as well as business resources.
There are two purposes for this event:
• The first half will provide information about working with the City of Kalamazoo. They have numerous projects coming up in the coming year.
• The second half of the afternoon is an opportunity for business vendors to meet one-on-one with representatives from government, resources, and local businesses.
