Exploring Federal Procurement Opportunities for IUPAT Contractors – Part 2

Mechanics of Becoming a Federal Vendor

This series of four presentations were prepared as a very basic reference for IUPAT member companies interested in or considering entering pursuit of contract work with the Federal Government. Whether that pursuit is as a prime contractor with awards directly from a government agency, or as a sub-contractor working under a prime, the information provided is a primer in the Federal contract marketplace.

The information is broken into four sections –

• A Business Self-Assessment; Is Your Business Ready?
• Mechanics of Becoming a Federal Vendor
• Finding Contract Opportunities
• Understanding the Variety & Types of Contracts
