Grow Your Small Business Through Government Contracting:
Did you know the U.S. government is the largest customer in the world? It buys all types of products and services — in both large and small quantities — and it’s required by law to consider
buying from small businesses.
The government wants to buy from small businesses for several reasons, including:
* To ensure that large businesses don’t “muscle out” small businesses
* To gain access to the new ideas that small businesses provide
* To support small businesses as engines of economic development and job creation
* To offer opportunities to disadvantaged socio-economic groups
SBA's Contracting Guide will help you learn the basic requirements, types of contracts, and how to evaluate your small business to see if it has what it takes to win a government contract.
