Small Business Event: USDA FNS Small Business Connect

The Government is extending the response period for the SB Connect Notice (see original attached) for a period of one business week in an effort to capture any remaining interest in participating in the event. There is no date set for the event at this time (see original notice attached). Please send your response no later than Friday, April 8, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. EST. The primary objective of this conference is to give small businesses and other than large business the opportunity to develop partnerships with experienced large businesses, thereby enabling the small businesses to submit proposals as prime offerors on social science research, studies and analysis projects managed by the Office of Policy Support. We will also be providing a forum to identify and discuss solutions to reduce barriers to competition and small business participation along with reducing the cost of preparing and submitting proposals.
