Happy New Year DC Business Community! | By: James Partlow IV, DGS Digital & Social Media Strategist

With 2016 just starting, many small and local businesses are looking for new ways to work with the Government of the District of Columbia and partner with District agencies to further elevate the quality of lives for District residents and visitors. The Department of General Services (DGS) is one of the bigger agencies in the District of Columbia and receives thousands of proposals every year from prospective businesses ready to do work with the District. Unfortunately, sometimes DGS is unable to do business with small and local business because they respond to the Request for Proposal (RFP) improperly.

To assist small and local businesses, DGS published a presentation that teaches business owners how to properly respond to an RFP. This presentation will help your business know the proper way to respond to DGS opportunities that are posted daily on the DGS Solicitation Page. Take a look at the presentation below:
