FedBizOpps

The very big projects are scrutinized to a higher degree, and FedBizOpps is the forum for these larger federal contracts. To make sure American tax dollars are properly spent, and the procurement procedure is conducted by the books, any federal contract costing over $25,000 will be posted and bid on in the open market, for all to see.

In most cases, there is already a company leading the race before a bid is posted on FedBizOpps, and the entire process ends up being a formality. However, if a company can prove to the contracting officer, and more importantly the end-user, that their services are a better value then it is possible to win the bid.

FedBizOpps is a website, where the public can view upcoming business opportunities (Solicitations), Updates, Awards, and even pre-solicitations. If you go to the website, you will see that it is simply a giant database with a wealth of federal contracts to look at, learn from, and even bid on. Creating an account is free, and you will want to get to know the search feature inside-out to save yourself a great deal of time locating optimal opportunities.

Every business should get to know the FedBizOpps website. To assure that time is not wasted, the worst of all sins in America, the website even includes an auto-email feature that will deliver a list of federal contract opportunities to your inbox every day, week or month. This can land you a very large project, and you do not need a GSA Contract to compete, however it helps greatly.
