Small Business Contracting with the Military Reserve Forces:
A Special Focus on 8(a) and Veteran Owned Small Business 

Small business is the engine of our economy, creating hundreds of jobs each year. Last month alone, small businesses added 57,000 jobs. Today there are thousands of Small Business Administration 8(a) certified, VA certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVSOB) and VA certified Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) companies currently doing business across the country. In the military contracting areana, small business succeeds in creating jobs by providing quality, flexible and cost effective solutions.

Addressing government and business leaders, this program will focus on educating and assisting the SBA 8(a), and the VA certified SDVSOB and VOSB certified small business owners, in best practices for contracting with the Department of Defense. The discussion will explore the nexus between these small business owners, potential major corporate partners, and the client services. Small business owners will learn about the various federal contracting programs and opportunities, hear from government representatives on contracting policy application and future contracting needs, as well as create a collaborative environment for future partnerships.
