Who sells to government

Government buys what you already do

Agencies buy almost everything a business can sell, at every level, in every state. Whatever your background, there is a public buyer for it and a path from the work you do now to a paid contract.

IWhat government buys

Everything a city, a state, and a federal agency needs to run

Buildings have to be cleaned, repaired, and guarded. People have to be trained, fed, transported, counseled, and cared for. Systems have to be built and kept running. Programs have to be evaluated, communicated, and audited. Every one of those needs is a contract, and most of them are small enough to be awarded to a small company without a formal competition.

The industry codes shown are examples. Most companies list several, and we help you choose them in the readiness review or a strategy session.

IIHow your experience becomes a contract

Five steps from what you know to what they buy

Name what you sell

Your trade, license, or profession maps to industry codes the government uses to find vendors. That is how a nurse becomes a medical staffing company and a plumber becomes a facilities maintenance contractor.

Find who buys it

Every agency publishes what it spends and forecasts what it will buy. We show you how to find the buyers of your codes at the federal level and in your own state and city.

Start where it is small

Purchases under $15,000 federally, and under each state's own threshold, need little or no competition. That is where a company with no government history wins first.

Turn your history into past performance

Commercial customers, subcontracts, and prior employment count when written correctly. Evaluators need to see you have done the work; they do not need to see you did it for government.

Add certifications that change the odds

If you qualify as woman-owned, veteran-owned, disadvantaged, or located in a designated area, whole categories of contracts are reserved for you.

IIINo company yet?

Start with the business itself

Government buyers pay companies, not individuals. If you do not have one yet, we form your LLC in any state: you give us the name, address, owners, and agent, and we prepare your state's filing, submit it, obtain the federal tax number, and hand you the contracting-ready checklist for the bank account, registrations, and records that come next.

A strategy session maps your background to the buyers who already purchase it and leaves you with a written 90-day plan.
