Hi Bogiebusta: Check out the Business.gov's Guide to Government Contracting for resources to help you get started in federal contracting. For state and local contracting information, you should visit your state's procurement or purchasing office to find out more. Once you register as a contractor and followed any steps to certify your business, if applicable, then you can start looking for opportunites. Here are a couple more resources that I think you would be interested in: -- Business.gov: How to Find Contracting Opportunities -- FedBizOpps.gov: FBO Demo Videos -- FBO is the Federal Govt's central point for contracting opportunties. The Demo Videos shw you how to register and use the search to find the contracts you are looking for. -- Business Law Advisor: Small Business Certification: Benefits and REquirements -- Business Law Advisor: Government Contracts RegulationsI hope this information helps.

Once registered in the CCR you can make application throughSDDC and GSA to offer your services. Once approved by SDDC and GSA, make sure your pricing is competitive with carriers being awarded the cargo.Marketing to the TransportationOfficers at the DoD installations and transportation personnel at the federal agencies is a plus. Good Luck

zaneta... I cannot thank you enough (nor the original poster)... this is exactly the answer I was looking for. I am in Arizona...what part of the country are you in bogiebusta? tx again.

you said.. 'make sure your pricing is competitive'...does this mean, no matter what, the lowest bid wins?

That is incorrect they will look at the differences in service and quality if you offer better and charge less you win but if your service is not as good and you charge less well it's very borderline it is all relevant to how tight the current allocated budget is. And this if from what I have heard so take it with a grain of salt...

Message move because from known community abuser.

One peice of advice I can give that a friend gave me is that it's crucial to know which government agencies and contracts you should pursue, as well as how to structure a bid so that it has the highest chance for success.
