American Manufacturing in Transition: Introduction to Defense Procurement - Macomb
The Government is in need of manufacturers to fill their defense needs. How do area businesses know where to
find these bid requests and how do they submit their bids? Keeping with the theme set in the first symposium on
diversification, this second in the series for manufacturers focused on procuring defense contracts. The symposium
covered how important defense contracts can be in your business diversification plan, what contracts are
available, and what assistance is available for you in applying and getting these contracts.
