I would just like to throw an idea out there for people interested in government contracting. Government supplies have to be packaged to a "mil-spec" that's called out in the contract. This could be a business opportunity for some of your followers. Open a "packaging house" - yes you will need a CAGE code etc., and will need to learn how to read the contracts and the specs which are at times contradictory. You will have inspectors review your processes and you will need to have supplies on hand like packing materials, cardboard boxes and the ability to build crates if necessary. Oftentimes, the Prime will just drop ship their goods to you and you take a slice of their profits.
Aren't you seeing alot of foster Miller Inc because you have it set to just Massachusetts? Or do you have it set to mass because that's where the office that these contracts come out of? Thanks Eric. Wouldn't you see other companies if you were looking for the same psc but all over america??
@Eric Coffie Have you seen Massachusetts on a map? It's tiny. Lol, I'm joking, but yeah, you're right. I was just making sure there wasn't anything I was missing.
This is a great video. I contract through DLA and have been trying to find a niche. I was trying to run ad hoc reports through SAM.gov without much luck. For clarification, you're saying SAM.gov does not have all the contracts awarded on DIBBS? This is the only way to find the DIBBS contract award data? Thanks!
Unfortunately for states like "CT", the letters CT are in the word contraCT agency & aCTion obligation, so I end up seeing random awards from various states.

Good evening Eric, would you say FPDS or USASPENDING is better as far as to getting detailed information regarding awarded contracts?
Excellent content Eric thank you!

Yes but the point is the same .. it’s an entire state.
Imagine if you could be 1 of 2 in your state? 🤌🏾

Product service codes
I live in mass and just getting started. I’d love some help😃
I come to Mass all the time
what is the difference in SAM and FPDS?
Huge difference - Sam does not have the history of every contract like fpds does
@@EricCoffie I see, but when I signed into FPDS I got a huge prompt stating reports have moved to sam.gov and sam.gov data bank
@@EricCoffie Last question, Can I sublease real estate to the goverment and middle man that? I have a lot of experience in REI

You’re creating competition by making videos about it
Less than 5% of the people will actually do it
