Federal Markets Conference

New! Large/Small Firm Teaming Fair

April 1, 2011
8am-10am

The ACEC Annual Convention in Washington will feature a new "Teaming Fair" designed to bring together large and small A/E firms for work on federal contracts.

At the Teaming Fair — part of the Federal Markets Conference at the Convention — representatives of many of ACEC's largest firms, including AECOM, Jacobs, STV and many others will interview small firms for subcontracting opportunities.

With Federal contracting still strong during this tough economy, Federal clients are pushing for more small firm participation in federal contracts; and ACEC's Teaming Fair is scheduled as both (a) a unique opportunity for small firms to access new Federal business and (b) an opportunity for large firms to meet government contracting goals and identify new resources.

Representatives of large firms will conduct one-on-one interviews with small firm representatives based upon pre-scheduled appointments. Small firms interested in participating in this program should register for it at the same time that they register for the convention, the sooner the better as appointments will be handled in advance on a space-available basis.

After registration for the Fair, small firms will receive a matrix of needs provided by large firms with a request to identify those firms whose needs they can match and wish to meet with.

Because of anticipated high interest in this program, small firms will be asked to prioritize their meeting requests. Small firms will be encouraged to have their SF 330 Part IIs or other qualifications information available as part of the interview process.
