@David Hill That’s understandable, David. One important thing to know is that legitimate U.S. government contracts do not charge application or bidding fees. If you’re being asked to pay a “wild” fee just to apply, it’s usually a third-party service or a scam not the government itself. The real investment is in proper registration, understanding the solicitation, and submitting a compliant proposal, not paying to apply. If you’d like, I can explain how to identify real opportunities and avoid those traps.
