Department Procurement Contacts or Small
Business Procurement Contacts
| The Federal government
is seeking new technologies to address their challenging
requirements, particularly from innovative small businesses and
new market entrants. The new Homeland Security law requires agency
procurement officials to conduct market research when purchasing
technologies required to address homeland security and
anti-terrorism needs.
There is considerable focus on E-Government and special
technology initiatives to streamline government services and make
IT procurements more effective and efficient.
All government agencies have goals to contract a certain
percentage of their technology awards to small, women-owned or
minority-owned businesses. Opportunities also exist for
veteran-owned and HUB-zone-based
firms.
The
Federal government provides its contracting officials with a
web-based tool, http://www.AcqNet.gov,
which is a valuable resource for contracting information related
to the Federal acquisition process. Among its many features are
up-to-date Federal Acquisition Regulations, agency contact
information, business opportunities, and market research.

"AeA’s services have always
saved us money. Now I have the opportunity to generate revenue
with the new AeA Member Directory."--Curt Nelson, CEO,
Silicon Space,
Inc.
"Government procurement
officials have historically overlooked companies such as mine. Some
of the most cutting-edge technologies are being developed in
smaller firms, but we are frequently lost in the shadow of the big
guys. By expanding the scope of its market research, the
government is effectively leveling the playing field and allowing
companies to stand on the merits of products rather than marketing
budgets."--Michele Wong,
President and CEO, Synergex,
Inc.
