Series Topic 1 | Government Contracting: Certification & Tools

Practical tools for the businesses that power Dutchess County

Part of our commitment to engaging local businesses, this series is shaped by what local owners told us they need, and created with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Women’s Enterprise Development Center (WEDC).

Are you interested in entering the public marketplace? Learn about the fundamentals of Government Contracting, including eligibility criteria, required documentation, tips for navigating contract systems, and a roadmap for small businesses.
