The Wisconsin Procurement Institute has developed and hosts the government contractor’s
community web portal www.B2Gconnect.org. This website provides online information and
education, as well as offers a daily bid matching service to Wisconsin businesses and
organizations.
WPI is a non-profit organization that was established 20 years ago by Wisconsin’s
Congressman Les Aspin. Its mission is to assist Wisconsin companies with
Government contracting - helping firms successfully enter and develop their
Government market segment. In the last 5 years, Wisconsin businesses have
credited WPI with helping them win several billion dollars in Federal dollars which
translates to supporting over 6,000 jobs annually across the State.
Through events, seminars and conferences (including "Wisconsin in Washington" an
annual Washington D.C. conference, Bridging the Gap to Washington, and the Governor's
Awards for Federal Contracting awarded at the B2Gconnect Conference), WPI helps
businesses throughout the State. As the hosts of national and regional federal
conferences WPI brings new opportunities directly to communities across the state.
WPI also offers small group and individual training, statewide outreach and individual
assistance to companies and organizations. [Current events and conference information
is available at
http://myb2gconnect.org
]
Not only does WPI provide technical and professional expertise and experience to Wisconsin's
business community, they have successfully engaged our State’s most successful government
contractors to mentor and teach developing small business suppliers. In addition, WPI actively
engages our Congressional delegation and staff. Information about Wisconsin’s Federal delegation
is available at www.legis.state.wi.us/lrb/bb/07bb/pdf/11-17.pdf
WPI works throughout the State -- in rural and urban areas -- with large, small, well-established
and newly created businesses in areas of manufacturing, technology, construction, research, IT
and services. WPI works closely with Federal, State and Local small business programs to
maximize the opportunities and market success for disadvantages, minority, woman, disabled
and veteran owned firms as well as those located in designated HUBzone and distressed areas.
WPI provides the help that is necessary for businesses to succeed in winning Federal awards
and contracts.
