- Description
- FAA to Host Annual National Small Business Procurement Opportunities Training Conference and Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada: The Annual FAA National Small Business Procurement Opportunities Training Conference and Trade Show will be hosted, June 16-19, 2008, at The Riviera Hotel Convention Center located at 2901 Las Vegas Blvd., South, Las Vegas, NV 89109. The forum will provide small businesses knowledge on how to contract with the FAA, marketing strategies, and give current information on FAA procurement opportunities (such as construction, information technology support services, management services, technical support services, engineering services, facilities support services, environmental services, telecommunications services, major system and subsystem manufacturing, security guard services, architectural and training services etc.) The FAA annually obligates more than $3 billion in goods and services (over $1 billion a year in support services awarded to small businesses.) In Fiscal Year 2007, the FAA awarded 31% of the total procurement dollars to small businesses, 7% to 8(a) certified firms, 11% to small disadvantaged businesses, 5% to women-owned businesses and 1% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The FAA continues to aggressively reach out to the nation's small businesses by conducting technical panel sessions and procurement opportunity workshops that are specifically focused on awarding contracts and subcontracts to small businesses. Workshop sessions will address technical program requirements and business issues as well as provide detailed procurement information that will help increase small business opportunities with the FAA. Small businesses are encouraged to market their capabilities during one-on-one marketing sessions with federal agency technical and procurement subject matter experts, and by participating in the Exhibit Hall Trade Show. Large businesses with major FAA contracts will also be on-hand to provide specific subcontracting opportunities and conduct industry subcontracting/mentor-prot??g?? workshops (i.e., Harris, ITT, Tremco, AMTI, Lockheed Marting, Parsons, L-3 Communications, Wells Fargo, GEICO, Raytheon and many more.)
