Federal Government

FedBizOpps.gov is the single point-of-entry for federal buyers to publish solicitations and for vendors to find posted federal business opportunities across departments and agencies. All procurement opportunities over $25,000 are listed.

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) In the past, any vendor who wanted to do business with more than one Department of Defense (DoD) location was required to submit the same business information to each and every site. This redundant paperwork created an administrative burden for the government and vendors. CCR was created to be the single repository of vendor data for the entire DoD.

U. S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) The "Open for Business" web page centralizes information to let every business in America know how to work with DHS. This web page is intended to complement - not duplicate or replace - mandatory government-wide portals such as FedBizOpps and the CCR. All vendors should continue to use the mandatory vendor access portals and use DHS's Open for Business to help navigate and better understand business mechanisms and relationships with DHS. Click on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and then on Business.

SUBNet is an SBA-created tool for small businesses to search and find subcontracting opportunities from prime contractors.

U.S. Business Advisor is a one-stop access to federal government information, services, and transactions including selling to government.
