3 HOT INDUSTRIES Are Overlooked in Government Contracting! 

Regarding State regulations.... I went to my state's APEX Accelerator trade show last week. I found out that the Gov't calls a middle man a "broker". It's against the law in some states (mine) to be a broker. The legality has to do with how much value the broker adds or doesn't add. You must add some value (be an authorized distributor, or "swing the hammer" yourself). Also, some procurement officers told me that if you are a broker that adds some small value (to be legal) and your sub-contractor doesn't do the work as contracted, you are on the hook for the full contract. If your contract officer is not flexible and gives you time to find a new sub-contractor, you might have to pay more for a last-min contractor and then you must pay the difference. There are some pitfalls to know.

I’m going after a contract rn. Contacted like 8 subs and got 3 to agree to quote, hopefully they do. This is a RFQ but contracting also wanted past performance. I’m nervous every step so far. lol. Now I gotta start putting together a proposal. First time ever. I figured, even if I mess it up, and lose the bid, the debrief will tell me what I did wrong, and that’ll help me improve, like you say in the book.

Hope at the end of your videos, you can provide a summary of the key points presented. ☮️ 🙏🏾

Derek, I think you were talking about Voltron, not Optimus Prime. Still love your analogies. 😂

Derek love your videos can you do one on energy renewable contracts solar companies mine will be open soon

Hi Derek, I have been following you for a while and always great information. I am a RN and I have a health care staffing and recruiting agency. Do you have any classes where you can help someone walk through the solicitations. I see a few for health care with staffing but when it comes to the government paperwork and how I estimate my profit, it is so confusing, I shy away from the solicitation. I can source for the candidate but the paperwork is challenging.

I have called companies for dumpsters and waste removal, but most are large waste management companies or brokers. Pricing seems high

Is it professional to follow up after you submit your proposal to see where you stand and if you can adjust your pricing?

Hi Derek thanks for info! My issue is finding funding I’ve been looking into factoring any suggestions ready to get to work.

Do you still offer the class?

It says in the book that he has an industry's report but the link is dead

Uhhh that’s not how the transformers work, you’re talking about power rangers lol but point made
