If you provide products and services, which you would like to sell to the Federal Government, this session will help you secure work with GSA and other Federal agencies. It is an excellent way to get your foot in the door of Federal agencies and learn to understand the preferred method of procurement for Department of Defense activities and the civilian agencies. If your organizations can provide any of the following services to the Federal Government, you should attend the PBS session: Design and Construction If your organization provides professional architects, engineers, or you are able to design, renovate, and construct new and existing properties. Real Estate Services If you provide related real estate services including the operation and maintenance of buildings, security, and out leasing programs. GSA’s Computer Integrated Facility Management program uses cutting-edge technology to look at a building’s life cycle. Real estate services provided to clients appear in federal agencies’ monthly electronic rent bills. GSA has simplified these bills so agencies have a clearer understanding of the costs charged for being housed in federal space. Federal Protective Service If your organization provides security services that promote a safe environment in which Federal agencies can conduct their business.
