19:16 It's interesting that contracting officers have reduced by nearly 75% in just 25 years. =

Ed you should apply for a job with Stan

Stan Cronkey is doing the midway project San Diego, California. The old sports Arena is being torn down.

There’s one in San Diego, Chula Vista

Can accountants/CPAs find government contracts?

Is there a SoCal version PTAC?

Does the government hire lawn mowing companies

I’m not sure what I’d be best fit for but I have a deep compassion for each and every presenter in some way which feels like this is no coincidence I’m seeing the video. I’m not real tech savvy. But I want to be apart of the team where I fit best.

I am registered in New Jersey .. Need help to register my business in California San Francisco area.. Thanks ..

It is true they will reach out to you. However, that happens once you have submitted all of the documents. To relieve yourself of a lot of headaches you will want to have all your documents ready to upload. Scan them ahead of time and save them in one folder. After doing all these things I had to wait quite a while before anyone reached out to me. I do not want to deter anyone from getting certified. I am super excited about the opportunities for my small business. However, the wait was long. I submitted all of my documents on January 16, 2024, and I did not hear from anyone until May 2024. When you first submit your documents your certification is "pending." After a couple months, it switched to "waiting." Then finally it changed to "approved." Before I was approved, I received an email to submit a few more documents. The lady was super nice and helpful. She gave me an extension so I could get everything submitted. It was a really great experience once I was finally contacted by someone at Caleprocures. I am so excited to get started bidding on some contracts. Good luck and Godspeed.

San Diego California on Sports Arena Boulevard, the sports arena is being torn down

as someone married to someone who's 'done business' with the government, its employees are very childish, very wasteful, very corrupt, and very abusive. not knowing this will set you up for failure unless you possess these traits yourself

When providing supplier quotes, do i show them the price marked up, or straight quotes from the supplier?.

Can I get the slides deck for this presentation, or a link to a newer presentation

59:40 - Re: “high risk high reward”, perhaps an example is best. Government wants, on SBIR, to solve a fuel inefficiency problem in military vehicles. Low risk low reward is to propose a minor improvement in current engines that has already been demonstrated in civilian applications and vehicles (low risk) and has led to modest fuel efficiency improvements. High risk high reward is a new hydrogen fuel cell design that has never been demonstrated anywhere before (sounds risky! what makes you think you can do it??) but, according to your calculations you have triple-checked, IF it succeeds then fuel efficiency in the military’s fleet of vehicles and aircraft will be *quadrupled*! (big reward and payoff). Since it’s government $, the risk is mostly on their side that your calculations were naive and their technical people were naive and didn’t see the flaw either, or some unexpected physics gets in the way and you don’t succeed with your fuel cell in the end.

58:11 - After those 20 years though the Government can do whatever they want with it, so it’s not your exclusive IP forever, but 20 yrs is a long time before the data rights expire.

57:46 - That’s not necessarily drastic. Say University is taking the lead, writing the bulk of the proposal, has the “big name” PI, and has the main technology that the small business is going to leverage in one of their systems to give them a competitive advantage. Then darn right the University partner deserves 50%. They usually have “free labor” from grad students though, so 50% for them should go a longer way than 50% for the small business so 55% seems like a lot unless the small business is really bringing little to the table.

Wonderful presentation! So informative and the energy is joyous.

The part about him semi complaining about labor cost tickled me. Everyone wants to build buildings and make money but no one wants to pay the people (a decent wage) to do it. lol

Have you ever had someone who was in a hubzone (waiting on hubzone certification) and new owners of property jump property costs to high market value to try and kick someone out? (Who's hubzone certified?)

Great info 👍Thanks for sharing

This is a massive market! I need to purchase some bulldozers!!

Looking at getting into estimating and bidding, do you have any recommendations as far as a certification program worth going through? I see SDSU offers an online program as well as a couple other professional agencies.

😍😍😍😍

Love it

Great

Wow

Thank you so much for these trainings! I am not even in California but find your content so valuable.

So do not apply for program until you have been in business for 2 years. Can you get contracts without being 8a certified?

Ed is so invaluable...GOLD

I’m so glad I found this video.

Awesomeness...

Thank you Christina Jones!
