2012 Small Business Outreach Event Highlights

You spoke, we listened! At the 2012 OAGS Small Business Outreach Vendor Fair, we provided an opportunity for small business vendors to:

  • Learn the structure of FDA and the mission of each Center/Office;
  • Discover "How to do business with the FDA;"
  • Evaluate the key products/services each FDA Center/Office buys to target marketing efforts;
  • Be informed of the Key Procurements Planned for each Center/Office in FY12 and the opportunity to ask questions;
  • Meet one-on-one with Project Officers and Contracting Officers concerning upcoming requirements;
  • Meet one-on-one with Small Businesses that are having success at the FDA; and
  • Meet one-on-one with Large Businesses with subcontracting opportunities.

This Web page offers a webcast of the event proceedings for those who were unable to attend.

Here are just a few comments of what attendees are saying about the 2012 OAGS Small Business Outreach Vendor Fair!

small business representatives meeting with FDA officials

"The 1-on-1 experience with the FDA Program Offices and vendors is truly amazing. It allows everyone to communicate in positive and transparent manner. The FDA Vendor Outreach sessions should be used as an OMB Small Business-wide best practice approach."

Presentation to an audience;

"The FDA OAGS Small Business Outreach Fair offered a unique approach to their program representing a broad spectrum of small business entities from several areas. Not only were the vendors educated on 'How to Sell to the FDA,' but they had the opportunity to share mind set with one another. Meridian will definitely benefit from this experience and we are looking forward to future events. Thank you for your continuing support of the small business community."
