Newswise — Governmental bodies at the federal, state and local levels purchase large quantities of products and services each year. Small business owners seeking to break into this market should contact their state or local SBA-supported small business development office, said UAB Small Business Development Center Director Ernie Gauld, M.B.A. "By working with local agencies, small businesses can learn more about the procurement process. These centers also can notify small businesses of bidding opportunities, train business owners at procurement workshops and provide opportunities for businesses to network with government agencies and prime contractors." The UAB SBDC is hosting the 2005 Procurement and Industrial Distribution Conference March 8-9.
