SUMMARY:DIBBS System Overview – Searching for Opportunities\, and How to Bid an Opportunity

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

SUMMARY:GSA Multiple Award Schedule – Is It Right for Your Company?
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

SUMMARY:Determining Your Proposal Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Date: 4/18/2023 9:00 AM \nRegistration Deadline: 4/18/2023 8:00 AM (PDT) \nFee: No Fee\nPoint of Contact: Angela Watson\nProgram Format: Online Meeting (Live)Training Topics: Government Contracting\, Marketing/Sales \nDescription\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo develop a winning qualifications-based proposal and competitive technical proposal\, you need a clear proposal strategy. A leading proposal strategy is developed well before the RFP comes out\, during the capture activities\, and continues to guide the proposal process until delivery (sometimes even how you deliver the proposal can be strategic!). \nA well-crafted proposal strategy brings the team together and informs content creation\, solution development\, and overall proposal themes. The strategy involves understanding the client\, the end-users\, the competition\, the strengths of your team\, and the value your team is bringing. Your projects\, products\, and services aren’t one-size-fits-all\, and neither are leading proposals. \nYou need to go deep into the audience’s needs for your proposals and show them how you — and only you — have the one-of-a-kind combination of experience and expertise. Each proposal is a slightly different response than the last and should focus on the details highlighted by the solicitation. Starting the proposal strategy during capture planning and refining it throughout proposal development will help keep the team focused on creating a compliant\, creative\, and compelling response. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions: Event Zoom link will be provided upon registration. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:How State Certifications Like W/MBE Can Result in Federal Dollars
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2/14/2023 9am  \nRegistration Deadline: 2/14/2023 8:00 AM (PST) \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\nAre you a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE)? If so\, then you may be interested in the new $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Act. This act funds state projects and imposes on some a 10% goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). Most state Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) program requirements overlap with DBE. So as the infrastructure funding is doled out\, opportunities should abound for qualified entities as primes and subcontractors since most large primes will be required to certify that they have included such businesses in their plans. \nIn this course\, government contracts attorney Matthew Moriarty will discuss why these certifications are important and how you can leverage them to take advantage of the Infrastructure Act opportunities. \nDon’t miss out on this incredible opportunity! Certify your business now and take advantage of all the benefits that come with being a DBE-certified business. You won’t regret it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions: \nREGISTER HERE\nZoom information will be provided upon registration.
