You can look up publicly available federal contract award data using official government sources like FPDS.gov or USAspending.gov.

Just search by company name to see what contracts have been awarded.

Proper research is always important!

Government contracts are posted on platforms like SAM.gov (System for Award Management), state procurement websites, and industry-specific portals. Businesses must register, identify relevant opportunities, and submit bids.

Experience is not necessary. With effective communication and leadership skills, you have what it takes to submit a winning proposal.

Small businesses can leverage set-aside contracts, certifications, subcontracting opportunities, and strong relationships with contracting officers to compete effectively.

No specific structure is required, but having a formal structure like an LLC or corporation can help establish credibility. You’ll also need a DUNS number [UEI number] and SAM.gov registration.

No license is needed to earn income in government contracting.
