Researching the Government Marketplace

An introduction to GovCon (Government Contracting) with an emphasis on Market Research.

About this Event

Looking to do business with the government? Learn how to navigate free web-based market research tools like USASpending.gov, FPDS, WEBS, and more. These tools can help contractors answer important questions: Which agencies buy what my firm sells? How much does the government spend on my products or services? Who are my competitors in the government marketplace?

Walk away with two unique worksheets to help guide your research efforts. Bring a laptop or other suitable device, and be ready to ask questions!

What to bring: Please bring a laptop or other suitable device. Using a cell phone to access the websites we will be using during this class is not recommended.

This class is offered IN-PERSON ONLY at Lacey MakerSpace
