The Florida PTAC at the University of North Florida is hosting monthly roundtable discussions on topics related to government contracting.  These no-cost, virtual and informal sessions are for business owners or those thinking about entering into the government contracting sector; federal, state or local.  You will be able to ask questions about doing business with the government; each session will start with one or two specific topics, then we will open the floor to attendees to ask our Procurement Specialists their specific questions.

Topics of discussion for 2023 will include:

• Are you ready for government contracting
• Supplier Diversity Programs and Socioeconomic goal requirements
• Necessary federal, state, and local government registrations and regulations
• Tips on applying for business socioeconomic certification programs; Federal, State and Commercial sectors
• How to connect with government buyers and prime contractors
• Understanding the language and basics of contracting
• Research of procurement histories and forecasts
• Identifying proposal and bid opportunities
• Best practices for automated bid match service
• Review solicitations, proposal documents, and make recommendations
• Contract performance requirements
