OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
We provide access, training, jobs and opportunities to grow your business.
We connect small businesses with public and private sector procurement opportunities, helping them understand contracting requirements, navigate bid processes, and position themselves competitively.
We create forums for small businesses to build relationships with decision-makers, general contractors, project owners, and capital providers — enabling collaboration and long-term growth.
We guide small businesse, contractors, entrepreneurs and people new to the process through local, state, and federal certification processes required for eligibility in public contracting, and offer technical assistance to help them meet prequalification standards.
AABCA supports its members throughout the life of a project to ensure contract terms are upheld and payments are made promptly. We work closely with procurement officials and project stakeholders to address delays, resolve disputes, and protect our members’ rights to fair and timely compensation.
Through workshops, seminars, and online resources, we provide training in essential areas such as:
-
Business planning and compliance
-
Estimating and proposal development
-
Risk management and bonding
-
Contract administration
-
Workforce alignment
-
As a national advocate for small enterprise success, AABCA monitors policy developments that affect procurement, contracting, and small business access. We work with public agencies, industry partners, and elected officials to ensure small businesses are considered in economic development initiatives and infrastructure investments.
For those seeking employment or career advancement in construction, trades, and professional services, AABCA offers job readiness support, access to training programs, and connection to workforce pipelines aligned with high-demand projects.
#AABCACares is how the Advancing American Business & Contractors Association, Inc. gives back to the community. It’s our way of showing up for families, neighborhoods, and those who need a little extra support. We are a 501(c)3 and some donations and in-kind services are tax-deductible by law.
Each summer, we host our Annual Bike Giveaway, donating over scores of bikes and school supplies to children. During the holidays, we deliver meals to seniors, the homeless and to families who need them most. We also help people register to vote, identify social service supports and connect youth and job seekers with local employers.
Through #AABCACares, we work hand-in-hand with our neighbors to build stronger, healthier communities — one act of care at a time.
