SBA.gov:
SBA’s Gulf Coast Business Matchmaking initiative has been created to assist small businesses whose primary customer base has been greatly decreased, displaced or in some cases eliminated by the affects of Hurricane Katrina. It will provide accelerated access to contracting opportunities with federal, state and local government agencies, their prime contractors and major corporations. These participating procurement organizations will offer contract opportunities for both the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast Region, as well as ongoing procurement opportunities.
The initial phase of the Initiative involves registering small businesses to participate. November 1-9, 2005, the SBA will conduct a mobile outreach and registration tour in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama utilizing a specially-equipped RV along with program staff to assist small businesses in registering for participation. Registration is specifically for small business owners in the effective areas who are currently registered in the Central Contractor Registry (www.CCR.gov) and who provide primary contact information including a description of their business, its capabilities, and keywords to describe products/services.
