GOV’T CONTRACT HOW-TO’s: State and federal agencies spend billions of dollars on goods and services each year most purchases under $250,000 are reserved for small businesses.

The Northwest Louisiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center is partnering with the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce to present the "Government Contracting Series for Entrepreneurs! " It’s a free, four-event series will take you through the basics of winning government contracts.
