Government Procurement Connections, is a collaborative effort between local, state and federal government entities. This unique event marks an exciting new day in inter-governmental cooperation and information accessibility regarding government contracting opportunities. Large businesses sponsor this event to enhance the growth of small and MWBE companies.

A host of elected officials support GPC, recognizing that small and minority and women business owners play a valuable role in our economy, and must be provided with the information and resources that will help them become more competitive.

Participants at GPC will have the opportunity to meet with more than 200 City, County, State and Federal representatives involved in purchasing, construction, and professional services contracting. This year’s event will also include METRO. Representatives from banks and other organizations committed to assisting Small and Minority, Women, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (S/MWDBE) firms will also be represented during the Contracting Fair. In addition, some governmental agencies and private sector firms will award contracts “on the spot.”
