Connect with GSA at the CT Business Matchmaker in Hartford on March 5

HARTFORD, Conn. – Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced that GSA’s Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization will participate in the Connecticut (CT) Business Matchmaker event on March 5, 2026. This is a high-impact networking event designed to connect businesses with government buyers and prime contractors to strengthen our national/local supply chains and open opportunities of procurement for CT businesses.

“GSA is dedicated to supporting small businesses and ensuring they have access to the federal procurement process,” said Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization Associate Administrator Greg Justice. “The Connecticut Business Matchmaker is an excellent forum for us to connect with Connecticut’s entrepreneurs, understand their capabilities, and guide them toward successful partnerships with the government.”

One-on-one prescheduled matchmaking meetings are at the heart of the CT Business Matchmaker. Businesses will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with buyers from federal, state and local agencies as well as prime contractors.

The event will also include a dynamic networking Business Expo featuring key resource providers, lenders, prime contractors and government agencies. In addition to a full day of training sessions facilitated by Small Business Administration (SBA) employees, resource partners and contracting experts.

The upcoming construction of a new Federal Courthouse in Hartford, which is slated to begin in the summer of 2027, presents a particularly exciting prospect for local businesses.

Representatives will be on hand to discuss potential contracting opportunities related to this major project, and other ways to work with GSA.
