How to Win Federal Contracts
by Gwen Green, Communications Coordinator, UALR Lead Center

During difficult economic times, government contracting can be a way for small businesses to expand their markets. The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched a new online training course to help strengthen access to contracting opportunities for small businesses, including those owned by women, minorities, disadvantaged individuals and veterans.

The free training course, "Recovery Act Opportunities: How to Win Federal Contracts," offers practical and fundamental steps to engage business owners in the federal contracting arena and provide information about the federal marketplace, contract rules and, most importantly, how to sell to the government and where to
find contract and Recovery Act opportunities.

"The SBA online training course can help businesses access the federal purchasing system and position themselves to compete for the commercial opportunities offered by government contracting," SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills said.
