Upcoming SBA Delaware Webinars
Basics of Federal Government Contracting
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of federal government contracting.
The federal government is the largest buyer of goods and services in the world. Annually, the federal government buys $600+ billion of goods and services. And, annually, the federal government spends billions of dollars with small businesses selling to it as prime contractors and subcontractors. Join us to learn the basics of government contracting and assess whether contracting is a good fit for your business growth plan.

Introduction to the Federal Procurement Data System ("FPDS")
This webinar will detail how to create actionable marketing strategies using the Federal Procurement Data System ("FPDS"), a federal government database.
FPDS documents historic and real-time federal government contracting activity. That FPDS data can effectively shape marketing strategies to sell to the federal government, because that data can be used to understand which agencies buy what and when, when contracts are likely to come up for bid in the future, and more. SBA’s ‘Introduction to FPDS’ webinar teaches how to use FPDS data to determine:
- if/when federal agencies buy your product/service;
- which federal agencies buy your product/service;
- from whom federal agencies have previously purchased your product/service (including whether contracts were set aside for small businesses and/or small businesses with federal contracting certifications—8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and/or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses);
- how much federal agencies have spent on your product/service;
- when current federal contracts will expire and, by inference, when new solicitations may be put out for bid;
- and more.
This webinar details how to craft and use FPDS queries and reports to transform FPDS data into actionable marketing strategies.
