This workshop is the second in the series of USDA’s efforts to support and show case procurement opportunities to rural, minority, women, veteran, and other small businesses.

The “USDA Small Business 201 Workshop” will continue to serve as an opportunity to network with USDA program and contract officers, other small businesses, partners, stakeholders, and other organizations focused on supporting and growing businesses across the country. Our goal is for every business that participates in the workshop attains an understanding of USDA agencies, programs, and contract and procurement process. Additionally, we aspire to provide participants with specific details on USDA’s upcoming procurement opportunities.

Part I of the event is scheduled for April 13, 2022, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm EST and will focus on the contracting and procurement tools and resources, as well as mission area overviews. Part II is scheduled for April 14, 2022, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm EST and will focus on USDA programs, contracts, and procurement opportunities. We look forward to listening, learning, and working with you as we strive to provide opportunities to this Country’s engine of economic growth, our small businesses.
