Doing Business
with Government |
|
|
There is never a better time to do
business with the government. With federal procurement
spending sharply rising, why wouldn't you do business with the
government? |
| |
| Finding a Contract
There are
about 80,000 public purchasing authorities in the United States.
Many of these authorities post solicitation and bidding
opportunities that are spread over thousands of Web sites. As a
result, thousands of new government contracting opportunities become
available in all industry categories each day, but finding the ones
that match your business can be a challenge. Especially due to the
time sensitive nature of these opportunities, it is difficult for a
business to identify relevant contract opportunities in a timely
fashion.
Government
Contractors Association is teaming up with Find RFP, the industry
leader in Government RFP Finder and Notification services. Find RFP
maintains a comprehensive database of government contracting, bids,
and RFP's, which is updated twice daily. You might want to take a
test drive to see how its daily notification service can save your
business time on finding government sales opportunities.

| How Government Buys
The government purchases the products
or services it needs by two methods: sealed bidding and
negotiation.
The first method, sealed bidding, is formal
advertising which involves the issuance of an Invitation for Bid
(IFB) by a procuring agency. Following receipt and evaluation of the
bids, a contract is usually awarded to the lowest priced bidder,
determined to be responsive and responsible by the contracting
officer.
The second method of competitive proposals is buying
by negotiation which involves the issuance of a Request for Proposal
(RFP) or Request for Quotations (RFQ), and the negotiation of each
element in the proposal. An award is made to the proposer who has
the best proposal in terms of both technical content and
price. |

| Securing a Contract
Bids and proposals always should be
prepared with utmost care. Contracts awarded on erroneous offers may
result in serious financial loss or other difficulty for the
bidder.
Before preparing an offer, close study should be made
of the specifications to be sure that all requirements can be met.
Particular attention should be given to the instructions to bidders
and to conditions of purchase, delivery and
payment. |
