This briefing covers active market intelligence, regulatory guidelines, and tactical capture recommendations for federal and defense contractors pursuing opportunities in this procurement classification.
Individuals, businesses or non-profits that have considered selling their services to government entities have a chance to learn more about the process at an upcoming meeting.
Page County Extension and the Clarinda Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsoring Government Contracting 101 — an informational meeting that will cover everything from finding bids to making sure you get paid. Andy Alexander is a Government Contract Specialist with Iowa State University’s Center for Industrial Research and Service and is presenting at the meeting. He says the meeting will be broken down into four different areas.
“The four main areas that I’ll be sharing with the public are how to investigate different levels of government — town, city, county, state and federal — where to find their bid opportunities, the different types of proposals you can bid on and grants and what they include and number four is the steps to take after a contract is awarded,” said Alexander.
Alexander says after businesses or individuals receive a government contract, he is available to assist with other parts of the process.
“If you’re awarded a contract, I assist you in your project management on how to kick that project off, how to get invoiced and paid and make sure you stay on task,” said Alexander. “If you’re not awarded the contract, then I teach you how to follow up and obtain a de-brief of what you did wrong in your bid or putting the contract together.”
