  • Application of a five percent small business preference on applicable State solicitations 
  • Placement in governmental databases

You can introduce your services to the entire campus at our annual Small Business Resource Fair. This event is usually held in January. Please visit our Vendor Events page for upcoming workshops and conferences.
