CFS Solutions DBS Government Contracting & Business Growth Program

This morning, we were on a conference call discussing one of our contracts when one of our subcontractors shared something that really caught my attention. One of his colleagues recently secured a contract to provide 500 vans to a large organization. 🤯 It was a great reminder that while we spend a lot of time talking about government contracting, large corporations purchase products and services every day, too. Companies like Apple, Amazon, Walmart, Kaiser Permanente, Disney, and many others have procurement teams and supplier programs that work with small businesses. 💡 Don't limit your business development to one customer. The government is one customer. Large corporations are another. Healthcare systems are another. School districts, universities, counties, cities, and nonprofits all purchase products and services. The lesson? Diversify your customer base. Take some time this week to research the companies you'd love to work with. Visit their supplier or procurement pages, learn about their vendor registration process, and see how your business might fit their needs. The opportunities are often much bigger than we imagine. 💬 Question for the community: If you could win a contract with one company, who would it be and why? Let's hear your answers! #BusinessGrowth #GovernmentContracting #SupplierDiversity #SmallBusiness #Procurement #ThinkBigger

One of the questions I receive often is, "Where do you find government opportunities?" This is one example of what I receive every day from my local APEX Accelerator (formerly PTAC). My APEX representative helped customize my Bid Match profile based on my business capabilities, so I receive daily notifications of opportunities that may fit CFS Medical Supplies & Equipment. 📧 Today's email included 180 new opportunities! A few things to remember: ✅ These opportunities are based on the capabilities I selected—not everything my company can provide. ✅ CFS actually offers many more products and services than what's included in this particular Bid Match profile. ✅ Every business should meet with their state's APEX Accelerator. Their services are typically provided at no cost, and they can help you identify opportunities that align with your business. But here's something that's changed dramatically... 🤖 Don't rely on just one source. Today, AI can help you search across federal, state, county, city, school district, and other public-sector opportunities much faster than ever before. Use technology to expand your search and uncover opportunities that fit your products and services. The goal isn't to chase every bid—it's to identify the opportunities that align with your business, your capabilities, and your long-term growth strategy. 💬 Discussion Question: How are you currently finding government opportunities? Are you using APEX, AI tools, SAM.gov, state procurement sites, or a combination of resources? Let's share ideas and learn from each other! #GovernmentContracting #BusinessGrowth #APEXAccelerator #SmallBusiness #GovernmentContracts #AIforBusiness Remember: Government contracting is about building relationships and systems—not spending hours searching websites every day. The more you automate your opportunity searches, the more time you have to focus on building your business.
