Currently over 32,000 opportunities are active in Fed Biz Ops (http://www.fbo.gov), of which over 13,000 are small business set aside contracts where only small businesses are allowed to compete. You may not realize that a business is not required to be co-located with an agency to respond to a federal opportunity, so a business in Brevard County, Florida has the opportunity to compete for and win a contract in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

On Wednesday, 11 August 2010, over 20 business owners gathered for Get in the Game to learn about doing business with the government. Congressman Bill Posey kicked off the event with comments about small businesses exploring different avenues to generate revenue for their business. Mr. Jospeh Sofia explained how banks evaluate businesses for financing and provided information about why businesses need proper accounting to prepare for a meeting with a commercial lender. Proper accounting not only prepares a busienss for the bank, but also prepares a business for the Defense Contract Auditing Agency that justifies expenses to ensure “best value” for tax payer dollars. Mr. Wayne Cooper discussed the differences between commercial accounting and government accounting, so business owners can establish the processes necessary to compete for government contracts and be compliant with federal regulations. Dr. Randall Mauldin finished the evening by illustrating the opportunities in the B2G market and explaining the steps required for a business to get in the game. With over $500 billion available in the B2G market, learning the rules to be competitive is a must for any business that wants to expand in to the federal market. Dr. Mauldin explained the benefits and the processes in a way that enabled many business owners to take action.
