Last year, the Commonwealth of Virginia spent more than $6 Billion on goods and services. Goods and services that you probably sell! For every $100 the Commonwealth spent on goods and services, $37, went to a SWaM vendor. Are you getting your share???

The Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD) will be conducting one-on-one counseling sessions to help you capture your share of these expenditures. Some topics we’ll cover may include SWaM / Micro business certification, state financing programs, eVa (Virginia’s electronic procurement portal), etc.

These 45 minute sessions are by appointment only. The appointment times are:

2:00 – 2:45

3:00 – 3:45

4:00 – 4:45

There is no fee for these sessions. However, an appointment is required. To make an appointment, submit an email to randy.brown@sbsd.virginia.gov. The subject line should read “March 17 One On One” and indicate your most preferred appointment times. Preference will be given to business owners attending the Selling to the Commonwealth Seminar held in the morning.

The sessions will be conducted by Randy Brown, Business Services Manager – Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity.
