The U.S. federal government is the single largest buyer of goods and services on the planet. In fiscal year 2023, federal agencies awarded over [$700 billion in contracts](https://www.usaspending.gov). That includes everything from IT consulting to office supplies, construction to cybersecurity, healthcare to janitorial services.
If you have ever competed for a federal contract, you know how intense the process can be. Dozens of companies submit proposals. Evaluations take months. And there is no guarantee you will win.
Every company that wants to do business with the federal government must register in SAM.gov. There are no exceptions. No registration, no contracts.

A numbers-driven overview of global public procurement in 2026
Imagine spending two years delivering solid work on a federal contract. You met every deadline. The end users were happy. Your project manager got compliments from the contracting officer's representative.
Every government contract breaks work into numbered line items. Whether you're bidding an IT services contract or a highway construction project, the government doesn't just ask for a lump-sum price. It asks you to price each piece of work separately, line by line, in a format it specifies.
If you've spent any time in government contracting, you've heard the acronyms: SEWP, OASIS+, Alliant, CIO-SP4, GSA Schedule. People toss them around like everyone knows what they mean.
Government agencies face a procurement challenge that grows more complex every fiscal year. Solicitation volumes climb, vendor pools deepen, and the compliance burden imposed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation continues to expand. Contracting officers manage larger workloads with static or shrinking staff, and the tools most agencies rely on were designed for a world where the pace of procurement was slower and the data volumes were smaller.
Business development in federal contracting is fundamentally an information problem. The firms that win consistently are not always the ones with the best technical solutions. They are the ones that identify the right opportunities early, position themselves with the right agencies before the solicitation drops, and build proposals that speak directly to what the evaluators actually care about.
The federal government and state, local, and education markets represent a combined addressable market that exceeds one trillion dollars annually. For investors, this creates a persistent question: how do you build systematic conviction about which sectors are growing, which players are gaining share, and which portfolio companies are positioned to win in a market that is notoriously difficult to read from the outside?
The federal government is legislatively committed to small business participation in contracting. The Small Business Act sets a government-wide goal of 23 percent of prime contract dollars going to small businesses annually. Set-aside programs, sole-source authority, and mentor-protege arrangements are all designed to ensure that small firms have meaningful access to the federal market.
Private contractors working in federal and SLED markets face a documentation problem that intensifies as the value of the contracts they pursue increases. A competitive federal RFP can run to several hundred pages: performance work statements, statements of objectives, quality assurance surveillance plans, data rights provisions, security requirements, subcontracting plans, and a compliance matrix that requires responding to dozens of individual requirements across multiple volumes.
The number one question every government contractor asks when pricing a proposal: "What should I charge per hour?"
