What is SBAs Gulf Coast Business Matchmaking initiative?
SBAs 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. GULF COAST BUSINESS MATCHMAKING 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.
