Frequently asked questions
How much does the federal government spend on it services in Arizona?
Since Oct 2024, agencies obligated $1.1B across 816 IT services contracts performed in Arizona (NAICS 541512, 541511, 541519), an average of $1.3M per award. The Department of Defense is the largest buyer.
Where are it services bids posted in Arizona?
Federal opportunities performed in Arizona are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on Arizona Procurement Portal (APP), and counties, cities, and school districts run their own portals — register with the largest ones in your service area.
Do I need to register with the state of Arizona to bid?
For Arizona state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on Arizona Procurement Portal (APP). Federal contracts performed in Arizona only require SAM.gov registration, though state small-business certifications can still help with subcontracting.
Do I need a GSA Schedule to win government IT work?
No — plenty of IT work is solicited on the open market via SAM.gov, and agencies also buy through small business set-asides. A GSA MAS contract helps once you have past performance, but it is not a prerequisite.
What is CMMC and when does it apply?
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification applies to DoD contracts involving Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Many DoD solicitations now require at least CMMC Level 1 self-assessment; Level 2 requires third-party assessment for CUI.
