The Department of Veterans Affairs is hosting a virtual business opportunity session on November 12, 2024, in collaboration with AArete, LLC, aimed at fostering partnerships and collaboration in government contracting. This event is designed to engage small businesses, particularly those classified as service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, or HUBZone small businesses, as well as those certified under the 8(a) program, to explore contracting opportunities and introduce them to AArete's business model and expertise in areas such as intelligent automation and business process automation. Interested participants are encouraged to register early due to limited capacity, with the response deadline for submissions set for November 11, 2024, at noon Eastern Time. For further inquiries, attendees can contact the Event Planning team at the Direct Access Program via email at DirectAccess@va.gov or by phone at 202-461-4694.
