SUMMARY:3 Part Innovation Series Lunch & Learn Pt 3 - Debunking SBIR/STTR Myths: Strategies to Protect and Optimize the Value of SBIR & STTR Program Authorities (2023 Update)
DESCRIPTION:Date: 12/14/2023\nTime: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM (PST)\nRegistration Deadline: 12/14/2023 8:00 AM (PST)\nFee: No Fee \nPoint of Contact: Angela Watson (661) 241-8188 \nProgram Format: Online Meeting (Live) \nTraining Topics: SBIR/STTR/Other Innovation Programs \nDescription: \n\nThis course provides insight into the SBA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program regulations\, common SBIR/STTR myths\, and how to develop effective strategies to protect and optimize an SBIR and STTR participant’s rights\, values and wealth under the SBIR & STTR programs. \nThe SBIR program was established under the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-219) with the purpose of strengthening the role of innovative small business concerns in federally funded research and development (R&D). Modeled after the SBIR Program\, the STTR program was initially established as a pilot program by the Small Business Technology Transfer Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-564\, Title II). The goal of the STTR Program is to facilitate the transfer of technology developed by a research institution through the entrepreneurship of a small business concern. \nDespite being touted as two of SBA’s most successful small business programs\, the SBIR and STTR programs’ unique rules\, regulations\, and data rights provisions are not well understood by small businesses and some participating federal agencies. Forty years after the inception of the SBIR program\, these small business set-aside programs still struggle against ignorance\, indifference\, and outright opposition. \nYou will learn how SBA’s SBIR and STTR policies differ from other government contracting regulations and\, more importantly\, how to address the government’s misinterpretations and reluctance to take advantage of SBIR/STTR program authorities. \nTarget Audience: Small businesses that want to pursue non-dilutive SBIR/STTR funding to help them complete the maturation and commercialization of their innovative technological solutions\, products and/or services. \n\nInstructions: \nREGISTER HERE \n\nZoom online meeting info and link will be provided via email upon registration. \n\nRegistration Policies: \nRegistration and Fees: Payment of seminar fees may be made by check\, money order or credit card. Payment must be received to guarantee your space in an event. \nRefund Policy: If you wish to request a refund\, please contact the conference organizer listed above to discuss. You may also elect to send a substitute in your place. If the event is cancelled\, all fees will be returned. \nSpecial Accommodations: In accordance with the American Disabilities Act and state law\, you may request accommodations due to a disability by contacting the event organizer listed above. Advance notice may be necessary for some accommodations. Registration must be paid prior to accommodation requests.

If you sell a product\, the government likely buys a portion of what you sell on DIBBS. Just as billions of dollars are spent on services (and products) via the System for Award Management (beta.SAM.gov)\, billions of dollars are also spent on DIBBS! \nSimilar to Mr. Frank’s training on beta.SAM’s Data Bank\, this course will be an in-depth instruction on what you need to find opportunities and bid on them successfully. \nThis training includes: \n\nhow to set up your account;\nhow to search for opportunities;\nhow to search by your manufacturer’s CAGE codes\, established National Stock Numbers\, and keywords;\nhow to set up the system for automated opportunity emails;\nhow to perform/complete the online bidding process;\nand many other tactics and strategies that take most companies one to two years to figure out.\n\nWhether you already use DIBBS or need to learn the basics\, this course will accelerate your understanding and expertise! It provides award-winning tactics and strategies that have directly helped companies win more than $2.8 billion in definitive contracts and more than $30 billion in multiple-award contracts. As a result of these strategies\, Mr. Frank\, managing partner at RSM Federal\, was awarded SBA’s Veteran Business of the Year and Small Business Advocate of the Year by the Society of American Military Engineers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions: \nZoom information will be provided upon registration. \nRegister Here

DESCRIPTION:Date: 7/25/2023 9am  \nRegistration Deadline: 7/25/2023 8:00 AM (PDT) \nFee: No Fee \nPoint of Contact: Angela Watson\nProgram Format: Online Meeting (Live) \nTraining Topics: Government Contracting \n\nDescription\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEver since you registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to do business with the federal government\, you’ve been probably receiving calls from telemarketers insisting that you need a GSA Schedule – the so-called magic bullet to sell to the federal government. But is it really that valuable? Are you actually eligible to bid? \nA GSA Schedule can be an important tool for selling to government buyers\, but not every business can benefit from it. Understanding what is involved in getting a GSA Schedule and what’s required to keep it long-term is essential before making a proper Bid/No Bid decision. \nThis course is designed to achieve the following results: \n\nGive you insight into the workings of the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program;\nAssess if you qualify for a GSA schedule given the proposal requirements;\nHelp you understand the basis of award for pricing and the future implications of the Price Reduction Clause;\nTeach you from a compliance perspective what will be necessary to keep the contract and generate revenue;\nHelp you decide\, ultimately\, if the program is a good fit for your company.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions: \nZoom information will be provided upon registration. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Convincing a Prime to Put You on Their Team
DESCRIPTION:Date: 6/6/2023 9am  \nRegistration Deadline: 6/6/2023 8:00 AM (PDT) \nFee: No Fee \nPoint of Contact: Angela Watson\nProgram Format: Online Meeting (Live) \nTraining Topics: Government Contracting \n\nDescription\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou know you have to team up with another company to take part in a larger acquisition. You know that a dozen teams will go after the bid. There are three companies that you KNOW have a competitive chance at winning. One of these three is likely to win. You select the one you believe is most competitive\, and you have a meeting to discuss joining their team. By the time the meeting takes place\, the prime has most likely already made a decision. You’re on the team or you’re not. But even if you’re on the team\, you may get little or no work. \nThese are the situations many companies face in both the government and commercial markets. We’re going to discuss several strategies you can employ to make sure that your initial discussion clearly shows that you will make the prime more competitive. It’s not about what you sell or how strong you are at what you do. It’s about helping the prime win. Create that perception and you’re on the team \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions: \nZoom information will be provided upon registration. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Contacting the Contracting Officer
DESCRIPTION:Date: 5/23/2023 9am \nRegistration Deadline: 5/23/2023 8:00 AM (PDT) \nFee: No Fee\nPoint of Contact: Angela Watson\nProgram Format: Online Meeting (Live) \nTraining Topics: Government Contracting \nDescription\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course reflects on the critical roles that the seller and the buyer have in contractual relationships within the US Federal government. For the Government (buyer)\, ONLY the Contracting Officer can change\, amend\, modify\, or even cancel a properly executed contract. While this may not be true for a seller and non-Governmental buyers\, it is true for the US Government. Accordingly\, contacting a contracting officer must be purposeful\, at least at first. There are times when a contracting officer may speak to you about a solicitation and times when they can’t. This course discusses such contact.In this course you will learn: \n\nHow to identify the only person in the US Government with the authority to change\, amend\, or cancel a government contract.\nThe three formal types of exchanges with a Contracting Officer.\nThe differences between formal and informal exchanges.\nThe different modes of contact with a Contracting Officer.\nThe authority that a Contracting Officer has.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nInstructions: Zoom information will be provided upon registration. \nRegister Here
