Introduction to Government Contracting
New to the arena of government contracting? If yes, then this webinar is a great way to start! In Fiscal Year 2024, the federal government awarded over $16B in contracts in Alaska. This amount did not just go to prime contractors; it involved subcontractors, vendors, transportation, and all levels of supply chain management. If you have not looked how your company can fit into the federal contracting arena, then you may be missing out.
This webinar will introduce you to the world of federal government contracting

Chasing Small Business Certifications (2025 Update)
Although entering the federal contracting arena can be challenging, there is opportunity for small businesses. Solicitations under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) threshold are set-aside for small businesses reducing the competitive pool. But how do you know if your business qualifies as “small”? To add to the confusion, there are additional sub-categories under the small business umbrella: 8(a) Business Development Program, HUBZone, WOSB/EDWOSB or SDVOSB.

Featuring BidMatch, APEX’s Solicitation Search Tool
One of the most difficult aspects of government contracting is finding the solicitation opportunities. It is difficult to track and search federal, state, and local government websites trying to find new jobs up for bid. BidMatch, a solicitation search software, captures solicitation data from 200+ procurement databases and then delivers the information via a daily email. BidMatch allows businesses to create individualized search profiles based on their capabilities.
This webinar will discuss how to create an effective search profile using the correct keywords, NAICS codes, and classification codes, time-efficient usage of the BidMatch notices, and how to use Contract Opportunities to its full potential.
Join Jody King, Alaska APEX Contract Specialist, and learn more about how to make the most of this free service. Attendees will learn how to create a diverse data set that provides successful search results. Information will be provided on how to start your BidMatch profile immediately after attending the webinar.
BidMatch is a solicitation search tool that is free for active Alaska APEX Accelerator clients. You do not need an existing BidMatch profile to attend this workshop.
