Thousands of Opportunities!

Looking for a place to sell your products and services?  The government has set up a website called FBO.gov which is the Federal Business Opportunities website.  Federal Agencies post their solicitations (stuff they need to buy) on this website so that vendors can respond with information or proposals.

Before responding to a post, a vendor must have a DUNS number (Data Universal Numbering System).  If you have already registered in SAM.gov then the information will be pulled into FBO.gov with just the DUNS number.  There is also free help to assist vendors in this process through Procurement Technical Assistance Program or PTAP which is available in every state.

This database is very comprehensive and worth a look by any business to see if they can provide the product or service the government is looking to procure.  There are thousands and thousands of listings for just about anything.  We have seen solicitations for toilet paper, construction, software, cleaning services, ice machines, interpreter services and  coveralls.  We are sure what you have to offer is being sought.  Check it out!

Please comment any tips on using FBO.gov for your business.

This is not an April Fools joke!  Want some free advertising? Any business would, right? At www.sam.gov you can get it!

The System for Award Management (SAM) is an official U.S. Government managed website which encourages companies to register for free.  An added side benefit to registering on this website is that your company will be able to receive government contract awards.

When registering be careful to select the appropriate socioeconomic categories that apply to your business. If you are offering quotes on government contracts it will make a difference.  For the details on the categories visit the SBA website government contracting page.
