Example: how a Tucson maintenance company would get started
This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.
A Tucson facilities maintenance company wants base and city contracts. We register it in SAM.gov and research what Davis-Monthan and other nearby installations buy, and which contracts are coming up. We check SBA certifications such as HUBZone or WOSB, register the company in the Arizona Procurement Portal, and set it up with the City of Tucson and Pima County. A capability statement then goes to prime contractors that need small business subcontractors.
Frequently asked questions
Can a California-based government contracting consultant help my Arizona business?
Yes. Everything is filed online, and we are one state away. We work with clients by video call.
Where are Arizona state bids posted?
On the Arizona Procurement Portal. Cities, counties and school districts post on their own systems.
Does Arizona have a statewide minority business certification?
Not in the way some states do. Federal SBA certifications, ADOT DBE and city small business programs are the main options, and we help you choose the right ones.
