Why start local?
Your easiest first bid is closer than Washington, D.C.
- ✓ Fewer competitors. Local bids draw a fraction of the field a federal contract does.
- ✓ Simpler rules. State and local solicitations are shorter and less rigid than federal ones.
- ✓ Faster payment. Smaller contracts and shorter cycles mean money in the door sooner.
- ✓ A track record. Build a local performance history, then use it to bid bigger.
