Federal Contracting Opportunities:
Steps Required to Contracting
The U.S. Government is the
largest purchaser of goods and services (Source:
SBA).
If you sell it, the chances are that the
government probably buys it.
Government contracts are not just for
large companies.
Federal agencies are required to target
small businesses.
The government has a large number of
programs which are designed to assist small
businesses get their fair share of contracts.
There is a lot to be gained from
government contracting but the procurement
process can be challenging as well as time
consuming if companies are not thorough.
Many concerns that small businesses have
in regards to government contracting – too
complex, assisting in navigating the process
difficult, hard to compete with larger firms, -
have all been conquered by those that have been
successful.
Here is a basic guideline
to help you get on the road to partnering with
Hensel Phelps on the New
San Ysdiro Land Port of Entry Phase 1b as
well as other future Federal opportunities.
