A small business should do market research before selling to the government to make sure they’re ready and can compete. Market research helps a small business understand what the government is buying and if their products or services are a good fit. This way, they don’t waste time on opportunities that won’t work for them.
A business needs to register as a government vendor to be eligible to bid on and secure government contracts for selling products or services.
We can walk you through the government registration process for various government agencies.
APEX Accelerator counselors can help you find solicitations, subcontracting opportunities, understand the project requirements, and review your final bid packet before submission. E-mail your procurement counselor to make an appointment for bid review. If you don't have an assigned counselor email apex@uada.edu .
