This program is targeted for principals, marketers, and business development professionals who are wondering how to identify and win design and construction projects with federal agencies: Questions addressed will include which federal agencies hire designers and constructors, how do they advertise and solicit offers for their opportunities, and how do they make their selections. Emphasis will be on Colorado based agencies, but a national view will also be presented. Also presented will be information on federal agency small and disadvantaged business enterprise (SDBE) categories and how to take advantage of these categories for limiting or eliminating competition for projects.
