Government Contracting for Forestry in Minnesota's Arrowhead Series Dates
Agenda
April 22 (Agenda Coming Soon)
April 28 (Agenda Coming Soon)
Description
For new and experienced forestry contractors, including (but not limited to) loggers, tree service, planners, tree planters, and fuels reduction businesses. Get help deciphering the government contracting process, learn about current and future hand and mechanical work projects on public and private lands, and discuss challenges facing the forestry industry.
There will be opportunities to connect with contract representatives from federal, state, and county agencies. Learn about the different contracting systems, prerequisite(s) for submitting responses/receiving an award, and what is needed to be part of a solicitation - insurance, certifications, etc. Learn about the typical scope of projects throughout the area to help paint the full picture of the volume and type of work in demand.
APEX Accelerator will provide an overview and follow-up technical assistance for getting registered in the federal SAM.gov and VIPR systems, as well as the state SWIFT system.
The Small Business Development Center will provide resources on developing a business plan, business finance basics, and strategic planning for business growth.
