That said, how do you get involved? I am goimg to address only the federal government, state and local governments would be dealt with on a state or local basis. Know your congressional representatives and your senators - as they can be a guiding light when you run into a wall. Your local university
may have small business developement programs in helping firms seeking government contracts (SBDC). SCORE, which is a small business agency to
aid in getting information. Local chamber of commerce, where networking can take place. Also there is the US Chamber of Commerce and NFIB (National
Federation of Independent Business). Your local bank and/or accounting firm
may also be of assistence, You know what you are selling, how to sell it,
