SUMMARY:Foundational Infrastructure for GovCon - Government Contracting Foundations
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Federal Government is the world’s largest customer – and small businesses are a critical part of its supply chain. But breaking into federal contracting can feel overwhelming without a roadmap. \nThe Government Contracting Foundations Series is designed for small businesses that are curious about federal work but don’t know where to start. With these monthly webinars\, you’ll learn the basics step by step: how the government buys\, how to register\, what certifications mean\, how to define your company’s capabilities\, and what infrastructure you need in place to compete. \nWhether you’re a one-person shop or a growing business\, this series gives you practical\, no-nonsense guidance to help you decide if federal contracting is right for you and how to get started the right way. \nWhen. Wednesday\, March 11\, 10:00am-11:30am \nWhere. Online \nNote: These sessions are focused on federal contracting – how to do business with U.S. federal agencies. While some concepts may apply broadly\, this series is not designed for companies pursuing state or local government contracts. \n\nWed\, Apr 8\, 2026 10:00 to 11:30 AM ET Foundations Session 8: Human Factors in GovCon\n\nSession 7 – Foundational Infrastructure for Government Contractors Build the backbone of your business before chasing contracts. Government contracting requires more than a SAM registration. We’ll walk through the core business functions you need – from accounting and timekeeping systems to HR\, IT\, contracts/legal\, and compliance (SPRS\, CMMC). You’ll learn what’s essential at the start and what can scale as you grow. \nReena Bhatia of the NC Military Business Center at Wake Tech will provide a basic overview of essential topics. \nThis webinar will be presented via Microsoft Teams platform.
