SEMINAR TO HELP LOCAL BUISNESSES LEARN

HOW TO BECOME A GOVERNMENT SUPPLIER

Manistee, Michigan - Did you know that the Michigan government
marketplace is valued at more

then $19 billion? Did you know that you can become a supplier to the
State and use this as another

avenue to grow your business?

If you own or operate a business and are interested in becoming a
supplier to the State of Michigan you

will want to reserve a seat at the March 27, 2008 Buy Michigan First
seminar.

Facilitated by the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) at
Northeast Michigan

Consortium in Onaway and offered in cooperation with the PTAC at
Northwest Michigan Council of

Governments, this seminar will be at the University Center at Gaylord
from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The seminar is free, but registration is required. Interested businesses
or individuals need to call Deb

Donovan at the PTAC at 231-929-5076 or email Deb at

Representatives from the State will be on hand to provide knowledge on
how to do business with the

State of Michigan, how to become a registered State vendor and how to
bid and win State contracts.

Whether you sell milk or electrical supplies, commodities or computers,
chemicals or construction or

janitorial services, you have potential as a Michigan vendor. Property
owners with office or warehouse

space to rent may also find opportunities with the State. The State of
Michigan's need for goods and

services is far ranging.

"The government marketplace can be another avenue to grow a business,"
says PTAC Coordinator

Patrick Bubin. "Business-to-Government, or B2G sales channels include
both federal and state

procurement. Much of our PTAC services are directed toward federal
contracts or subcontracting, but

we also make an effort to regularly present learning opportunities on
doing business with the State of

Michigan. This is one such occasion and businesses should take advantage
of this seminar to learn how

they could become a State of Michigan supplier."
