BUYERS and SELLERS

Buyers register ahead of time and list the types of products and services (as identified by NAICS codes) that they are interested in acquiring. Both Buyers and Sellers are able to access a list of their matches immediately following input. Matches should be checked often and again just prior to the event.

Currently, there are 13,407 Seller to Buyer organization matches on the system

Small businesses, or “Sellers,” pre-register for the event as well, using their individual NAICS codes. (Identify your NAICS code(s) by searching keywords at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. ) Meetings last approximately 15 minutes, are on a first-come first-served basis, and present an opportunity for Buyers and Sellers to discuss each others’ specific projects and capabilities. There is also ample opportunity throughout the day to network with Buyers and Sellers.

In addition to one on one matchmaking meetings, the event will provide seminars for small businesses including selling to the government, GSA schedules, access to capital, and surety bonding.
