SUMMARY:Workshop to provide training for new Bid Targeting System from the Michigan Defense Center
DESCRIPTION:Macomb County Planning & Development \nWorkshop to provide training for new Bid Targeting System\nfrom the Michigan Defense Center \nTraining session focused on small and mid-size companies\nlooking to bid on government contracts\nNearly 4\,000 Michigan businesses are currently serving the defense industry\, but according to the Michigan Defense Center\, there is room for more. To open up access\, the center recently launched the Bid Targeting System (BTS)\, a web-based tool application designed by a former Department of Defense contracting officer that supports companies with government contracting experience and companies which have not done business with the government in the past. Through business intelligence and predictive analytics\, the BTS helps organizations quickly identify and prioritize federal contract opportunities and save time and money in the pursuit of that work. The resource also scores companies the way a federal contracting officer would\, giving small and medium-sized contractors the same advantages that large primes derive from their in-house experts. Features and benefits of the BTS include: \nFeatures: \n\nPrioritize bid opportunities with custom search filters and criteria weights\nAutomatically match your firm with top bidding opportunities\nReceive daily email notifications of new bid opportunities\nSave and manage your favorite bid opportunities with total user control\nCustom and standard reports\, including company specific “Firm Report”\nMultiple search features: NAICS\, Region\, SBA Program\, Bid Due Date\nExtracts & integrates business intelligence from various sources\nGrant funding available to hire professional bid writers\n\nBenefits:\n\nPersonally manage your bid opportunity search profile\nSave time and money pursuing federal bids\nDevelop a practical roadmap to becoming a successful federal contractor by leveraging information from multiple sources\nUnderstand your firm’s strengths and weaknesses\, the same that federal buyers are seeing\nCustomize strategies to improve score and grow your business faster\nMore informed business decision-making on pursuing federal bids\n\nCompanies interested in learning how to use the BTS can attend a free workshop offered by Macomb County Planning and Economic Development. The session will be held on Tuesday\, September 25 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Velocity (18 Mile Rd\, Sterling Heights\, MI 48314). Parties can register for the event here. Limited seating is available\, so it is recommended that interested individuals sign up by September 21.\nFor more information on the Bid Targeting System call MCPED at 586-469-5285 or visit https://www.bidtarget.org/login.
