Procurement Bidding and Contracting Information

Federal, state and local government agencies offer businesses the opportunity to sell billions of dollars worth of products and services. Many government agencies require that some percentage of the procurements be set aside for small businesses.

We are one of the few economic development agencies that assist government, for-profit and nonprofit organizations to develop and improve policy that enhances opportunities for the success of minority and women-owned businesses. This component is essential to long-term opportunity growth. Furthermore, this component is part of our push for change that levels playing field.

Government contracts can be a great source of revenue for small businesses that have been in business at least 3 years, but to get those contracts, you have to understand the process and how to navigate it successfully. Getting certified is just the first step in securing contracts with the Government. MEDI’s procurement consulting and training services help you:

• Understand how to compete in the government contracting arena
• Obtain appropriate certifications
• Develop a procurement strategy

• Find opportunities
• Assist with bid and proposal preparation
• Help with post-award preparation
• Know what to do if you don’t win the contract

With the help of MEDI's consultants, many businesses have successfully entered and prospered in the government contacting arena.
