CARIBOU — Companies in Aroostook County looking to expand their business with federal, state and local contracts are urged to attend a free informational session in Caribou Wednesday, March 25.
The seminar, sponsored by the Northern Maine Development Commission, will be from 8:30-10 a.m. at the NMDC office, 11 West Presque Isle Road, Caribou.
Maine Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) counselor Dana Delano of the Northern Maine Development Commission and Melody Weeks, PTAC program manager, will explain how to read the details of local, state and federal government product and service solicitations and how to respond with a winning bid proposal.
“Government bid solicitations can be a bit intimidating to business owners looking to expand their market. This workshop will breakdown the details of a solicitation and how to respond with a positive proposal,” said Delano.
Maine PTAC provides a variety of government contracting technical assistance services to Maine-based businesses of all sizes.
“From cleaning services, to all types of construction, and even snow plowing, local, state and federal governments are a big consumer of products and services,” added Delano. “We want to assist local companies in obtaining these opportunities in order to grow their business.”
To register, contact Delano at ddelano@nmdc.org or call 521-5840.
