Government Contracting

When thinking about who to sell to, have you considered the government? Local municipalities, county, state and federal governments buy everything from toothbrushes to technology. In fact, the government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the U.S.

If you are ready to grow and want to explore government contracting as a market, let Oakland Thrive’s consultants help get you registered, show you how to research opportunities, and help you navigate the process. It takes some work to get into the system, but it is worth it. Ask us about set-asides and special opportunities for 8A, local and women-owned companies.
