NH PTAC and the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center (NHSBDC) teamed with BAE Electronic Systems to establish a new government contracting training opportunity. The pilot version was launched last month and will conclude in January.
The Subcontracting Academy is a 12-week cohort program designed for small and medium firms ready to meet this demand. Configured as six, two- and one-half hour class training sessions on alternate weeks, with structured help sessions in the intervening weeks, the goal is to identify weaknesses and strengths, and to implement plans to best utilize strengths while addressing areas that need further development.
NH PTAC covers areas specific to government contracting and subcontracting requirements, such as federal certifications, mandatory contract clauses and Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements. NH SBDC addresses business systems, cash flow, planning and resiliency issues, among other topics.
