Example: how a St. Louis logistics company would get started
This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.
A St. Louis logistics company wants federal and state work. We register it in SAM.gov, research which federal offices in the region buy logistics services, and check SBA certifications. We register it in MissouriBUYS and, if it qualifies, prepare Missouri MBE or WBE certification. Then we identify primes that need certified subcontractors on upcoming contracts.

Where are Missouri state bids posted?
On MissouriBUYS. St. Louis, Kansas City and the counties post on their own systems.
