Public tenders in United States
Open government contracts in the United States, from SAM.gov, the US government's official contracting site, updated every day. Notices are usually in English and priced in US dollars. Our guide to bidding abroad
Can a UK business bid?
Federal agencies are covered by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement above about £140k, so UK firms can bid for many contracts. Small-business set-asides and some defence buys are closed to foreign firms.
A general guide. The tender documents are always the final word.
How to bid in United States
- Get an NCAGE code first: non-US firms need one before they can register (free).
- Register your business in SAM.gov to get a Unique Entity ID. It's free but can take several weeks.
- Read the set-aside and place of performance: many notices are reserved for US small businesses.
- Submit exactly as the notice says, before the response time (US time).
