Work from home using your computer supplying common off the shelf items to your local city and state agencies.

USAGOV.NET invites you to take advantage of the many opportunities available for participation in supplying products to the city, state and federal government.

With commercial spending down and government spending up, consider  selling off the shelf  products or services to  state, city and  county governments. This is a hidden market that provides  wealth of potential bid opportunities.

There are about 80,000 purchasing authorities and 700,000 employees with government credit cards buying products ranging from  to paper clips to digital  cameras and  services like advertising, printing  and construction. City  agencies  such as libraries, schools, recreation, water, fire and police dept are small enough to develop a close working relationship with and large enough to keep you busy.

Whether you bid on  micro supply contracts ($2,000 to $13,000) or medium supply contracts  ($10,000 to $100,000), then tapping this hidden market using eProcurement makes good business sense.

Pursue micro & small purchases. Many agencies purchase millions of dollars of products in amounts of $5,000 or less.
