Small Business Advantages
 in 2017        
By: Max Franks

In government contracting we hear a lot about the Small Business goals and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAP). Congress has set a goal for all Government Procurement for small businesses at 23%.  Keep your company active and updated for possible opportunities. If you're ready in 2017 to find and win more government opportunities, contact the Arkansas Procurement Assistance Center (APAC).
