Using this information, TDA regional and contracting staff will be able to more efficiently identify small businesses that can provide the types of technical advice in the major sector in which we work. Register your company on-line at www.tda.gov. SBA's Pro-Net is an internet-based database of information on small businesses, developed for use by federal and state government agencies as well as prime and other contractors seeking small business contractors, subcontractors and/or partnership opportunities. It will be used by TDA in conjunction with our Consultant Database to identify potential contractors to compete for TDA contract awards. Registering for PRO-Net also provides your company with an added marketing boost for other government agencies as well as private companies.
