Did you know the U.S. government is the biggest buyer in the world?
In fiscal year 2024, the federal government obligated about $755 billion through contracts. Even better, small businesses received over $183 billion in federal prime contracts — about 28.8% of all federal contracting dollars.
That means the government is not only buying from giant corporations. It is also buying from small businesses, service providers, consultants, and everyday entrepreneurs.
They buy almost everything:
✅ Cleaning
✅ Construction
✅ IT
✅ Staffing
✅ Logistics
✅ Marketing
✅ Training
✅ Consulting
✅ Office supplies
✅ Maintenance
✅ Professional services
The problem is most people never learn how to find these opportunities, read solicitations, or submit compliant responses.
That’s why I created Federal Contracts Lab — a community for people who want to learn how government contracting works and how to position their business to compete.
If you want to start a business, grow your current business, or create an additional income stream, government contracting is a skill worth learning.
