Good Morning Sunshine!
I hope you weathered the storm well. I don’t know about you, but I have a renewed appreciation for my electricity being on. Kudos to the Choptank Electric team and their helpful outage map that kept me informed even in the dark! Here’s new info to help you succeed in business. Nancy
Do you seek new business opportunities? The Maryland Small Business Reserve (SBR) Program provides prime contracting opportunities for small businesses that are ready, willing and able to perform on state-funded contracts. In the last fiscal year, Maryland paid over $477 million to certified SBR firms. The program applies to 66 designated agencies and departments that are required to spend at least 15 percent of their total fiscal year procurement expenditures with certified SBR vendors. Once a contract is designated to the SBR Program, only certified firms can win the award. Today, there are less than 4,000 vendors in the SBR Program. Vendors who meet the eligibility standards and complete an online process can become certified in one day. There is no cost to participate in the SBR Program. Visit the Governor’s Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs online to learn more. https://gomdsmallbiz.maryland.gov/Pages/sbr-Program.aspx
