Small businesses seeking a foothold in the $7.8-billion procurement market for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management can meet one-on-one with an agency representative at the upcoming Waste Management Symposia in Phoenix.
Environmental Management will hold individual meetings with small businesses attending the Waste Management Symposia gathering, Feb. 27 – March 2 at the Phoenix Convention Center, according to a special notice posted Feb. 10 in on a government procurement website.
“DOE is focused on advancing equity in procurement for small businesses and interested in feedback” in areas such as barriers to entry on both the prime and subcontractor level, according to the notice. The cleanup office is also seeking “suggestions for improvements that DOE can make to increase opportunities for small businesses, including socioeconomic small business.”
To set up a meeting, contact Anne Marie Bird, small business program manager for DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center, by emailing [email protected].
