Frequently asked questions
How much does the federal government spend on it services in North Carolina?
Since Oct 2024, agencies obligated $1.3B across 968 IT services contracts performed in North Carolina (NAICS 541512, 541511, 541519), an average of $1.4M per award. The General Services Administration is the largest buyer.
Where are it services bids posted in North Carolina?
Federal opportunities performed in North Carolina are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on NC eProcurement (eVP), 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 North Carolina to bid?
For North Carolina state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on NC eProcurement (eVP). Federal contracts performed in North Carolina 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.
