How To Do Business With The U.S. Department Of The Interior?

On Wednesday Februrary 11th, 2009 at 9:00 AM EST located in College Park, Georgia (Atlanta Metro Area), the U.S. Department of Interior held the first of a series of Workshops that will cover three other Cities including the Washington D. C. Area. This one day event, starting with registration at 8:30 AM and lasting to 4:00 PM was held at the Georgia International Convention Center on 2000 Convention Center Concourse. It was sponsored by the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization or ("OSDBU").


One of the featured Speakers and a person proactive throughout the workshop was Mark Oliver Director of the Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization. The purpose of this workshop was to inform Small Business(es) that there is approximately 7 Billion Dollars that may be set aside for the U.S. Department of the Interior regarding the Stimulus Package and this is our opportunity to win Prime Contracts or Subcontracts with this organization.


The mission statement of the OSDBU is stated, "The Office provides outreach and assistance for procurement and contracting opportunities to small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, service disabled and veteran-owned businesses and businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) areas and guidance to the Interior's contracting and management officials on small business".


This unique workshop in our opinion is a real sign that the Federal Government wants to reach out to Small Business to help save the U.S. Economy and the World. For out of the nine (9) inner offices (Bureau of Indian Affiars (BIA), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services (FWS), Minerals Management Service (MMS), National Business Center (NBC), National Park Service (NPS), Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)) representatives were present whether it was the Director from Washington D.C. we mentioned earlier himself.


So, if you ask where to start, do the following: 1) Register in CCR.gov to become eligible to participate and receive a CAGE Code. 2) Get in touch with the Small Business Administration. 3) Get Educated and get involved.


We personally hung out with Mr. Dannie James, a former Georgia Tech. - GTPAC Officer who currently serves as President of JE Consultant Group LLC and Government Business Consultant Inc. or a Consultant to Small, Medium and Large Business(es) regarding Government Contracting. Our purpose for doing this very thing was to educate ourselves and gain major insight on the Government Contracting Process.


Why, well because Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. is a Minority Owned, HUDZone Certified, Veteran Owned and Small Business.
