Did you know the U.S. government is the world’s largest purchaser of goods and services, and, by law, 3% or more of the value of its contracts and subcontracts must involve small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. The purpose of this webinar is to assist service-disabled veterans who own businesses in learning and evaluating if their companies have what it takes to win a government contract, and then go for it.

During the webinar, two veteran business owners will share their experiences going through the government contracting process. You’ll also hear from guest experts Mike Sabellico, senior procurement advisor from PTAC San Diego, Orange, Imperial; and Gloria Gomez, lead business opportunity specialist/8(a) business development from SBA OCIEDO.
