The Procurement Access Series: Session I April 2026

April 8, 2026 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (EDT)

Description

The Dayton Region Minority Business Assistance Center (MBAC), in collaboration with the City of Dayton Human Relations Council (HRC), presents Session I of The Procurement Access Series, a three-part initiative designed to expand small business access to public contracting opportunities and strengthen participation in government procurement.

This first session will provide a practical introduction to navigating public procurement systems used by both the State of Ohio and the City of Dayton. Representatives from each entity will guide attendees through the supplier registration process, demonstrate how to identify and track active solicitations, and explain the structure, requirements, and timelines associated with government bidding opportunities.

Participants will gain valuable insight into how public agencies purchase goods and services, what steps businesses must take to become eligible vendors, and how to position their company for future contracting opportunities. By demystifying the procurement process, this session aims to reduce barriers to entry and equip small businesses with the knowledge and tools needed to successfully compete for government contracts.

This program is ideal for small and minority-owned businesses seeking to better understand the public purchasing landscape, expand their customer base, and build stronger relationships with state and local procurement offices.
