For IT companies that have never won a government contract
Yes, the government buys what you do. There are 276 open federal bids for IT companies right now.
29 of them are reserved for small businesses, so a large company cannot take them.
That is a live count from the government's own listings, not an estimate. Winning one is another matter: the government decides, and nobody can promise it.
Can my business actually do this?
Good to know. A good share of IT work is bought through contracts a business must already hold. Open bids like the ones here are the way in for a newcomer.
What do I need before I can bid?
Which contracts should I pursue?
The ones kindest to a first-time bidder come first. Start close to home, start small, and check the deadline before you read anything else.

How do I respond to a 60-page solicitation?
A bid is written for contracting officers, not for a business owner. Sabrina, our AI assistant, reads the notice and its documents with you and tells you in plain English what it is asking for, what you have to send in, and where you stand.
You can cancel at any time. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period you have paid for.
OpenBid cannot guarantee results. The government decides who wins a bid, and nobody can promise that one will.
