Why this matters for Albuquerque's small businesses
This series turns opportunity into action. You’ll learn exactly how to become “procurement-ready” and leave with tools that shorten the path from vendor to vendor of choice—so you can diversify revenue, stabilize cash flow, and create local jobs.

What you’ll learn & build

• Get compliant & visible: NAICS/NIGP codes, UEI/SAM.gov, vendor registrations.

• Stand out on paper: A polished capability statement and a realistic bid/no-bid decision checklist.

• Discover Real Opportunities: Navigating Procurement Portals.

• Price & propose with confidence: Read scopes, avoid disqualifiers, structure competitive responses.

• Partner smart: Teaming/subcontracting strategies and how to meet primes and buyers.

• Hands-on help: Office hours to review registrations, documents, and next steps.

Who should attend
Micro and small firms across trades, professional services, construction, IT, marketing, food services, and more—especially first-time bidders and growing vendors.
