Interested in government contracting? Campbell to host workshop on how to get started

     Each year, the government spends billions of dollars in goods and services purchases from private businesses.  Campbell University will host a free workshop explaining how local businesses can take advantage of this economic opportunity by becoming registered to receive government contracts. The Central Contractor Registration Workshop, presented by the North Carolina Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) and sponsored by the Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC), will be held at Campbell University’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business on Thursday, June 30, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the Academic Computer Center, Room 113.
    The workshop provides hands-on assistance in helping interested vendors register in Central Contractor Registration, the Small Business Administration and N.C. Vendor-Link online. PTAC and SBTDC counselors will guide those who attend through the registration process.
    “This is a golden opportunity for greater Harnett County,” said Dr. Shahriar Mostashari, associate dean of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business. “The beauty of it is that by the end of the workshop, businesses will have a registration number with which to bid on federal, state and local government contracts.”  
To register for the free workshop, call the SBTDC office at 910-672-1727 or e-mail: jroos@sbtbc.org.
