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.

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.
