Tips for Contractors Develop a 1-2 page company “resume”:  Make clear what your size, socioeconomic status is, CAGE Code.  Focus on product over process; define the specific items or services your firm can provide, NAICS Codes.  Describe how your company can distinguish itself (e.g., mention an accomplishment or two).

Pursue direct marketing opportunities:  DoD Conferences - most are sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association (www.ndia.org).  Industry Days - associated with specific TACOM solicitations; announced in ProcNet.

Work with your PTAC: (www.aptac-us.org).

Check OSBP web sites at all TACOM Sites and at Other Levels:  (www.acq.osd.mil/osbp)  (www.sellingtoarmy.info)  (www.amc.army.mil/pa/smallbusiness.asp)
