About this opportunity

The General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has published a Special Notice announcing free office hours and a webinar designed to support small businesses seeking federal contracting opportunities. This Special Notice was posted on February 10, 2026, with a deadline of March 3, 2026. The event is open to all small businesses in the industry and represents GSA's commitment to fostering innovation and growth within the small business community. The webinar will provide practical guidance on navigating the federal procurement landscape and connecting with GSA contracting opportunities. No set-aside designation applies to this Special Notice, meaning participation is available broadly to eligible businesses.

The primary objective of this initiative is to educate small businesses on how to identify and pursue federal contracting opportunities through key government platforms and resources. The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time and will be conducted online with regional virtual links available for participants in Regions 1, 2, 3, and 11, covering the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and National Capital Region areas. Attendees can expect to receive an overview of the System for Award Management (SAM) and the GSA Forecast Tool, followed by a live question-and-answer session with GSA Small Business Trade Advisors (SBTAs). Registration is required, and confirmation emails containing meeting join information will be sent to registrants. OSDBU encourages small businesses to leverage these resources and connect with OSDBU small business specialists through their website, social media channels, and dedicated events page for ongoing training and support.
