We are very pleased to launch the Small Business Procurement Coalition. We hope this Web site and the activities of the coalition will be of great benefit to small businesses working in the procurement arena.

The organizations that have come together on this effort are listed on the right side of this page. Each organization is committed to helping its members and clients succeed, both in procurement opportunities and elsewhere. Together, we can be
a driving force for opening new doors and knocking down procurement obstacles for small businesses everywhere.

Of course, in the procurement arena information is key. Small businesses are uniquely suited to deliver on these contracts, but they need to know where to find them and how to get them.

Therefore, we have partnered to put together a robust guide to how to find and exploit procurement opportunities. You can access key information areas in our resources section, or you can access the entire Procurement Opportunities Guide.

I know I speak for every member of the coalition when I say that we were extremely pleased to have participated in the development of this extraordinary guide, but we are even more excited to be able to deliver it to our members and supporters.

We are also pleased to have partnered with MasterCard International to support and sponsor the guide's
development and distribution.
