March 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET

Kevin Plexico, SVP of Information Solutions at Deltek

The first year of the Trump Administration has introduced a clear reset in the federal contracting market, reshaping agency priorities, procurement behavior, and small business utilization in ways that demand attention. In this webinar, Kevin Plexico, SVP of Information Solutions at Deltek, delivers a data-driven review of how federal spending with small businesses has shifted, with a focused look at performance across key socioeconomic programs—including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, and HUBZone—and where momentum is building or eroding. Looking ahead, the session will highlight what early indicators suggest for 2026 and outline practical strategies small businesses should consider now to adapt, compete, and capitalize in a market defined by change, opportunity, and urgency.
