How Small Businesses Win Government Contracts: What Nobody Tells You About Getting Paid by the Government

​Join VETS Sacramento for a practical workshop during Capital Region Small Business Week, Powered by SMUD.

Most small businesses never win a government contract. Not because they're not qualified. Because nobody told them how the game actually works.

This session covers the realities that don't always get discussed: why contracts are often decided before the RFP ever drops, which certifications allow agencies to skip competitive bidding and buy directly from you, and how to build the relationships that actually move the needle.

You'll hear directly from small business owners who have been through the process and experts who know the system inside and out.

Whether you're brand new to government contracting or exploring it as a growth strategy, you'll walk away with a clear playbook and a next step you can take the very next day.
