New to State and Local Government Contracting?
If you have been given the task of coordinating your company's state and local government sales efforts, you need a starting point.
Purchasing rules vary from state to state. Each state follows their own set of rules for vendor registration, bid postings and purchasing protocol.
We have consolidated all you need to know to get started in selling to the states.
The Vendor Guide to Doing Business with the States and U.S. Territories lists the pertinent data you will need to become a registered vendor, locate bid opportunities and find contacts and assistants in the states of your choosing.
You will get names and contact data for the states purchasing office, a listing of assistance centers and web links to vendor guides, vendor registration and more.
