Small Business Industry Day

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is hosting an event for small business owners at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) designed to provide information about doing business with the AOC and the CVC. The CVC is looking for products that are made in the U.S. and manufactured with U.S.-made materials. These products include educational toys, jewelry, and souvenir apparel whose product themes are focused on the Capitol for its two Gift Shops. The AOC is looking for goods and services required to maintain its buildings. This includes elevators, escalators, air handling units and electrical systems as well as products and services needed to maintain the landscaping around the Capitol complex and conserve and repair historical objects and artwork. Why you should attend: You will have the opportunity to speak with representatives from the AOC and the CVC who are responsible for procuring materials for the agency and its divisions. There will be a networking information exchange with larger construction companies currently under contract with the AOC. When: Friday, November 5, 2010; 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m.)
