OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO SELL TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, the Architect of the
Capitol (AOC) will be hosting an event for small business owners at the
new Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) on doing business with the AOC and the

Washington, DC.

Opened on December 2, 2008, the CVC is the largest
expansion to the Capitol, and it is the new visitor entrance to the
Capitol -- its facilities include a 16,500 Exhibition Hall, a 530-seat
Restaurant, two Gift Shops, and two orientation theaters where visitors
watch a 13-minute welcome film before touring the U.S. Capitol.
The Small Business Industry Day sponsored by the Architect of the
Capitol at the U.S. Capitol is free and open to any small business
owner; however, advance reservation is required and attendance will be
limited to 400. Details on how to register and specific products and
services sought will be forthcoming in early January. Generally, the
CVC is looking for products to be sold in its two Gift Shops that are
made in the U.S. A. and manufactured with U.S.-made materials such as
educational toys, jewelry, and souvenir apparel whose product themes are
focused on the Capitol. The AOC is looking for goods and services
required to maintain its buildings such as elevators, escalators, air
handling units and electrical systems as well as products and services
needed to maintain the landscaping around the Capitol complex and
conserve and repair historical objects and artwork.
