Government Procurement

Many small businesses are interested in selling their products and services to federal, state, and local government agencies. The U.S. government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world. State and local government agencies also purchase significant amounts of products and services. Many government agencies have goals or programs designed to encourage or promote more business with small firms.

Kentucky businesses interested in marketing their products and/or services to government agencies can receive free assistance from the Kentucky Procurement Assistance Program (KPAP). Our Guide to Government Contracting provides information on how to do business with the government.

KPAP services include:

  • Marketing - helping your company identify contracting opportunities with federal, state, and local government agencies
