Government Contracting Classroom
Did you know the federal government buys nearly $100 billion worth of goods and services from small businesses each year?
Government contracts can offer significant opportunities for small businesses, but selling to the government requires a very different approach than selling to the commercial sector.
SBA has created a series of free online contracting courses designed to help prospective and existing small businesses understand the basics about contracting with government agencies. Whether you are just getting started or looking for ways to compete in the government contracting marketplace, the courses below are for you.
About the Courses
These self-paced courses include audio and take about 30 minutes to complete. You can exit a course at any time. Before entering a course, you may be prompted to complete a registration form, which includes a few short questions and takes less than a minute.
