There’s no better time to explore one of the federal agencies most committed to supporting them: the Department of Veterans Affairs. \nVA is one of the largest buyers in the federal government\, purchasing everything from medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to IT services\, construction\, and facility maintenance to support the millions of Veterans it serves. And for Veteran-owned and service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses\, VA offers some of the strongest contracting opportunities anywhere in government. But knowing that VA is a big buyer is only half the battle. To compete successfully\, you need to understand how the agency actually works. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll get an inside look at VA’s mission and structure\, what the agency buys\, and how its procurement process works\, including the contracting vehicles and programs that shape how opportunities reach small businesses. You’ll also learn where VA buys\, so you can focus your efforts on the offices and regions that matter most to your business\, and you’ll walk away with practical resources to help you find opportunities and connect with the right people. \nWhether you’re a Veteran business owner taking your first steps into federal contracting\, a company already working with other agencies and looking to expand into VA\, or a business interested in teaming with Veteran-owned firms\, this session will give you a clear roadmap for getting started. Bring your questions\, too. We’ll save time at the end for an open Q&A. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow VA is organized and what drives its purchasing decisions\nWhat products and services VA buys most\nHow VA buys\, including key contracting vehicles and small business programs\nWhere VA buys\, and how to target the right offices\nVA resources to help you find opportunities and build relationships\n\nPresented by Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9. \nSpeaker: Darryl Scherer\, Small Business Liaision\, Department Veterans Affairs \n\n\nRegistration Policies:\nAI NOTE TAKERS: The TN APEX Accelerator DOES NOT allow any AI notetaker apps in our meetings and/or webinars due to confidentiality. If you attempt to join with one\, it will be removed. \nSpecial Accommodations: In accordance with the American Disabilities Act and state law\, you may request accommodations due to a disability by contacting the event organizer listed above.
