Thank you for the info! I have been looking into other orgs/social media, including podcasts and other forums but am happy to learn about more. I appreciate the heads-up about NCMA, I did not know about them.

Hello! I am a recent grad hired by a small business to sent to tackle the government buying space. I have no experience in federal contracting beyond a political science degree. I've done my due diligence in doing my best to track down informational guides, reading regulations, and trying to learn what I don't know: the issue being I don't know what I don't until it's sitting right in front of me making me go "What the heck is this?" I've gone through the forums to source reading material to help me, but I was wondering if people who have been in this space for much longer than I've been alive can help provide additional material, sources, and helpful tips to continue to help my knowledge base with federal contracting. I've been in contact with PTACs and SBLOs for different agencies, but would also like opinions and help from as many sources. For now, I've mainly been working on DLA/DIBBS fulfilling small acquisition purchases once or twice a month, building an application for the Multiple Award Schedule, and working my way up to sourcing possible subcontracting opportunities, attempting to jump-start our movement towards being a truly full-time federal contractor. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated, and thank you ahead of time, I hope this question is not too vague.
