Background:  In an effort to provide as much 'value-added' service to the Small Business (SB) community, during this pandemic and beyond, our office is hosting a series of outreach events focused on enlightening SB Socioeconomic vendors interested in procurement/contracting opportunities with GSA Prime Contractors.  Due to the pandemic, we are focused on offering Virtual Outreach Events to achieve this goal.   

Is Subcontracting Right For You? The General Services Administration (GSA), Great Lakes Region (R5), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) wants to help HUBZone businesses find and secure contract opportunities with the Federal Government.  One way to grow your business is through subcontracting.  

On Thursday, July 09, 2020, 11:00 a.m - 12:00 p.m. (CST), the Great Lakes, Region 5, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (R5OSDBU) is hosting a HUBZone Small Business Event.   Previous to this specific webinar event for HUBZone SBs, we have conducted three (3) similar events that reached out to Service-Disabled and Veteran Owned SBs, Women-Owned SBs, and Small Disadvantaged SBs.
