I just signed up for the SC state procurement site. Because NC has no apex , I was also encouraged to sign up for the NC state procurement site. I am still waiting for my CAGE code. But, I was told I could do a few things to be ready when the approval comes through. I also started the small business search application. I started exploring keywords and codes taht may be applicable to what we offer. I will be working closely with my counselor to make sure I learn the system . I will also take advantage of having her review my work to make sure I have the right wording.
