HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH MILITARY COMMANDS
 

The below information explains contract types, certifications, acquisition methods and websites to register with in order to do business with the government.

If you register with RI Procurement & Technical Assistance Center they will meet with you, build a "search profile" and conduct a daily "bid match search" of all federal, state and local open bid solicitations posted electronically. The solicitations found are emailed to you with live links for you to review. Please note that many cities and towns do not post electronically and are not included in these searches.
