The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce recognizes the opportunities that are offered to small businesses pursuing available contracts to grow and scale their business.

  • Procurement Series: Annual Fall Series
  • Procurement Matchmaking: Twice a Year (Summer and Fall)

Procurement Series Information

Did you know that small business contracting is one of the most important federal programs for helping America’s small businesses grow and create jobs?

Federal and local governments must acquire products and services to maintain all public and essential services, such as those required for public safety, national security, health, infrastructure, and social services. Procuring contracts is a tremendous financial opportunity for small businesses. The U.S. government is the largest customer in the world.

Have you considered doing business with local, Federal, and State buying agencies but don’t know where to start?

Sign up today to participate in our annual Procurement Series. Sessions are offered in a hybrid mode (online and in-person) to small businesses looking to grow and scale their business through contract opportunities.
