The WIPP Federal Contracting Certificate Program helps demonstrate the capability and competence of women entrepreneurs to compete in the federal contracting arena, and provides the credentials and formal recognition needed to build business opportunities with contracting officers and prime vendors.
WHO: Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) are at a turning point in the federal marketplace. It is time for women business owners to show the federal government that we are ready, willing and capable of helping to meet its goals and strengthen America's economy.
WHAT: The WIPP Federal Procurement Certificate Program is an opportunity for you to receive formal recognition of your experience, skills, understanding of procurement policy, and your ability to compete in federal contracting.
WHY: WIPP develops relationships with contracting officers and Prime vendors, follows contracting opportunities and promotes Certificate Program participants in fulfillment of those contracting opportunities.
Completion of the Program will serve as a tool to build business opportunities with federal contracting officers and prime vendors. WIPP members who complete the program will be listed in WIPP’s Directory of credentialed WOSBs.
