The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Great Lakes Region 5, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) and Public Buildings Service (PBS), Small Business Liaison is always looking for ways to increase virtual engagement and knowledge of GSA's programs.  To make it easier for small businesses to access information about how to do business with GSA, interact with the regional acquisition workforce, and ask questions about regional PBS opportunities drop in on one of our free, virtual monthly MOW's (Meeting On Wednesday's) Office Hour Open House.

Repeating every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 2 p.m. CST, Region 5 OSDBU and PBS will host an MOW Office Hour Open House to provide prospective and existing small business vendors an excellent opportunity to engage directly with regional advocates of GSA's small business program.  Small businesses are encouraged to attend to ask questions about the GSA procurement process, and upcoming regional opportunities, and discuss topics pertaining to small business in general.  Small businesses can drop in and out anytime during the scheduled event.

In an effort to make our MOW's even more engaging periodically other organizations in GSA and Industry partners will be joining our meetings to share information and acquisition guidance pertaining to your acquisition journey.  We are excited to announce Eric Fears, Information Technology Specialist, Federal Acquisition Services (FAS), Office of Information Technology Category (ITC), Solutions Development Division will be joining our Feb 12, 2025 (2-3 p.m.) meeting.  To learn more about GSA, Federal Acquisition Service ​click HERE
