Looking to do business with the government? This in-person course shows you how to navigate free web-based market research tools like USASpending.gov, FPDS, WEBS, and more. These tools can help contractors answer important questions: Which agencies buy what my firm sells? How much does the government spend on my products or services? Who are my competitors in the government marketplace?

Walk away with a unique worksheet to help guide your research efforts. Bring a laptop or other suitable device and be ready to ask questions!

What to bring: Please bring a laptop or other suitable device. Using a cell phone to access the websites we will be using during this class is not recommended.

Instructor Bio: Grady Smith is the lead APEX Advisor for Thurston County. He works with businesses one-on-one to help them navigate government contracting.
