💰 So, You Want to Chase the Big Money?
Forget crypto rollercoasters, NFT hamster wheels, and scratch-offs that leave you with nothing but sparkly disappointment and a fingernail full of regret. If you’re looking for serious, stable, legally-backed money - the kind that shows up on time and doesn’t ghost you after a contract - you’re looking for government contracts.
And when we say big money, we mean big. The U.S. government - across federal, state, and local levels - drops over $1.8 trillion annually on everything from missiles to muffins. And they’re not just shopping from Fortune 500 catalogs. They're actively required by law to spend a portion of that money with small businesses.
Yes. Legally. Required. Like jury duty, but with billion-dollar budgets.
🏦 What Do They Spend It On? Pretty Much... Everything
The government buys everything. Like your mom at Costco, but with more paperwork and better funding.
Federal contracts? They’re buying missile parts, medical gloves, AI software, and catering for FEMA tents.
State contracts? Think highway repair crews, web design for state portals, or food delivery to public health centers.
Local contracts? From janitorial cleaning of city buildings to flower
arrangements for city hall press conferences - someone’s getting paid for it.
If you’re imagining stuffy suits and big defense contracts - think again. The real contract gold is often tucked inside smaller, less glamorous categories where there’s less competition and more frequent renewal.
Need examples? Sure:
A woman in Illinois got a contract to bake cookies for an annual government event - $18,000 for snickerdoodles and gingersnaps.
A small gym in Arizona scored a contract to run wellness workshops for police departments.
A janitorial company in New Jersey cleans 7 city libraries under a 5-year local contract worth over $300,000.
A mobile pet grooming company in North Carolina got a contract to bathe and de-flea service dogs.
The government is the ultimate customer - steady, scalable, and (mostly) sane. They won’t ask for a refund three months later or complain that your font isn’t “edgy enough.” If you do the job right, you could be set for years with recurring work.
🎯 Why YOU - Yes, You - Should Care
Whether you:
Run a landscaping company in Milwaukee
Own a vegan bakery in Austin
Install HVAC systems in Kansas City
Offer marketing services in Miami
Build custom furniture in Detroit
There’s a government entity at some level that needs what you offer. Government contracts exist for every sector - even the ones you think no one cares about. They need diversity in their vendor pool, and your woman-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned, or rural small business can help them meet those mandates.
👋 Uncle Sam Isn’t Just Interested - He’s Eager
Unlike that sketchy guy on Craigslist who ghosted after asking 12 questions, the government wants to work with small businesses. There's literally set-aside funding just for you.
By law, a percentage of every agency’s contracting dollars must go to:
Small businesses
Women-owned businesses
Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses
HUBZone-certified businesses
Minority-owned businesses
It’s not just about being fair - it’s about building resilient local economies. That’s why the feds give extra points (and sometimes exclusive bids) to small players who can prove their chops.
🧩 You Don’t Need to Be Huge - Just Hungry
Think you’re too small to qualify? Think again. Businesses with just one employee win contracts all the time. So do folks operating from their kitchen tables or garage offices. The real key is to look professional, know the rules, and speak the government's love language: compliance and capability.
And don’t let your zip code fool you. Whether you’re in a Manhattan high-rise or a farm in rural Nebraska, there are local, county, and state-level bids floating around you every single week.
🛠️ Bottom Line
If you’ve ever thought:
“I wish I had steady clients who paid on time”
“I need to diversify my revenue”
“Government money sounds nice but intimidating”
Then take this as your neon blinking sign: It’s time to learn the system.
Because government contracts aren’t a dream - they’re a process. And with the right setup, even a one-person shop can earn six figures from a school district contract, while sipping tea and updating a calendar.
And at AMS Digital, we’ve seen it happen. From lawn care pros to marketing nerds, if you've got the skills, Uncle Sam’s got the invoice.
🏗️ Every Industry Has a Slice (Yes, Even Dog Trainers and Balloon Artists)
You don’t have to be Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, or a giant company with its own zip code to win a government contract. Truth is - Uncle Sam isn’t just courting military tech firms. He’s out here hiring wedding caterers, graffiti removal crews, mural painters, mobile dentists, ice cream trucks, and yes - even goat rental services for brush clearing.
Government contracts are not reserved for the suits and briefcase crowd. They’re for real people, in real businesses, doing real (and sometimes hilarious) things.
Let’s break it down by level, with examples that’ll make you say “Wait - that’s a contract?!”
🏙️ Local Level: The Unsung Buffet of Quirky Contracting
Local municipalities spend their budgets on everything you can imagine - and a few things you never would.
A barbecue joint in Austin won a contract to cater meals for the Travis County Jail - brisket and baked beans for 600.
A hairstylist in Ohio scored a contract to provide weekly grooming for a city-sponsored reentry program.
A dog trainer in Los Angeles landed a contract to work with police K-9 units on behavior management.
A balloon artist in Boise won the city's Fourth of July event entertainment contract. That’s right - balloons paid the mortgage.
A local cleaning company now scrubs all courthouse buildings in a Midwest town - five-year renewable contract, six figures.
These are not national brands. These are people with vans, tools, skills, and a little paperwork hustle.
🏛️ State Level: Bigger Budgets, Bigger Scope
State governments handle large projects, but still need local businesses to make the magic happen.
A marketing agency in Georgia created digital ads for the state’s public health vaccine campaign. Budget? Over $400,000.
A carpet installation company in North Carolina replaced flooring in every Department of Motor Vehicles branch in the state.
A small pest control firm in Michigan services over 200 state-run facilities, including public universities and health offices.
A caterer in New York got a rolling contract to provide Kosher and Halal meals for several state colleges and correctional facilities.
A muralist in New Mexico won a contract to beautify the Department of Transportation’s new buildings with Southwest-themed art.
You don’t have to run a mega-firm. You just need a license, a clean record, and the courage to bid.
🦅 Federal Level: The Big League (With Room for Small Players)
Yes, federal contracts can run into the billions, but many contracts are micro-purchases under $25K - and often set aside for small businesses.
A yoga instructor in Colorado won a contract to lead virtual classes for remote federal employees suffering from Zoom fatigue.
A cybersecurity startup won a $120K subcontract to monitor server activity for a larger defense contractor.
A veteran-owned mobile mechanic was hired to service fleet vehicles for the U.S. Forest Service in Montana.
A printing shop in Maryland now prints all IRS tax prep brochures for the Mid-Atlantic region - a contract worth $180K/year.
A landscaping duo in Oregon maintains all federal courthouse lawns in the state under a $450K, multi-year agreement.
A tiny two-person AV company got a GSA contract to set up projectors and livestreaming for federal training sessions nationwide.
And here’s the kicker - many of these companies had never even heard of SAM.gov two years ago.
🧁 Everyone Can Get a Bite
Still not sure if your business fits? Here’s a list of industries that have all won contracts:
Caterers, bakers, and food trucks
HVAC and plumbing contractors
Graphic designers and web developers
Security companies and locksmiths
Laundry services
Pet grooming and training
Event planners and DJs
Mobile massage therapists
Translators and sign language interpreters
Drone photographers
Social media consultants
Candle makers and soap producers
Construction crews and general contractors
Delivery drivers with nothing but a van and Wi-Fi
And yes - a tiny cleaning business get a local government contract with nothing but a basic capability statement, a one-page website, and a solid LinkedIn profile.
📊 Contracting is a Buffet - Not a Fancy Restaurant
You don’t need a tux, just a plate. These contracts aren’t about flash - they’re about solving a problem for an agency, at the right price, with reliability.
So whether you fix toilets, fix typos, or fix broken government morale with really good coffee, there’s likely a contract with your name on it - waiting for you to show up with a bid and a little polish.
🏙️ Local Government Contracts: Your Hometown ATM (Sort of... Just With More Paperwork and Less Beeping)
Local government contracts are like the low-hanging fruit on the trillion-dollar government money tree - ripe, reachable, and surprisingly juicy. Cities, counties, school districts, and townships need help with everything from filling potholes to supplying office snacks, decorating for city parades, and setting up Wi-Fi in fire stations.
These contracts aren’t glamorous, but they’re steady, funded, and often renewable year after year. And best of all? You don’t need a massive legal team or 72-page proposal to get started. In some cases, all it takes is showing up, asking questions, and having a business card that doesn’t look like it was made in Microsoft Paint.
🧺 So What Do Local Governments Buy?
Glad you asked. Basically... everything. Here’s a non-boring breakdown:
Public Works - asphalt repair, fencing, tree trimming, sidewalk replacement, storm drain cleanup
Facilities - janitorial services, HVAC maintenance, pest control, elevator inspections, landscaping
Public Events - sound systems for parades, catering for town council retreats, folding chair rentals, balloon arches
Schools & Libraries - tutoring programs, afterschool snacks, bookshelves, classroom murals, snow plow services
Public Safety - uniforms for police/fire/EMS, CPR training, vehicle wraps, mental health support for staff
Technology - website redesigns, IT support, help desk outsourcing, cybersecurity audits, printer supplies
Health & Sanitation - mobile clinics, hand sanitizer dispensers, portable toilets for public events
If you can do any of these things - or sell any of these things - you are already qualified to win a contract. You just have to make yourself known.
🍪 Real Local Wins: Business Owners Who Bagged Government Bucks
A bakery in New Jersey dropped off cookies at the town hall, attached their capability statement, and scored a weekly catering contract for council meetings. Total value? $38,000/year of muffins and mild applause.
A pet groomer in rural Illinois landed a contract to bathe and trim K-9 units for the sheriff’s office - and now bills $1,500/month to keep German Shepherds sleek and shiny.
A videographer in Colorado scored a contract to film city park construction updates. His drone work was so good, he got rehired to produce tourism videos.
A plumbing company in Georgia became the go-to for city building maintenance - and now has a three-year contract with five different departments.
A teenage coder built a website for a small town’s recreation department. He now manages their full digital presence - all before graduating high school.
Moral of the story? You don’t have to be big - just visible, reliable, and a little bit bold.
📝 Why Local Contracts Are Awesome for Small Business
Easier Entry You’re not competing against billion-dollar corporations. Your competition is usually other local businesses - sometimes just one other bidder, or none at all.
Simpler Paperwork Local governments often have fewer requirements. You might just need a W-9, a couple forms, and proof of insurance. Bonus points if you submit everything in PDF and not as a photo of a napkin.
Relationship-Based Wins Call the procurement officer. Attend a public meeting. Introduce yourself to the parks department. These people are often thrilled to work with friendly, dependable locals - especially ones who don’t ghost them after the first job.
Shorter Timelines Many local bids are decided in days or weeks - not months like federal contracts. And “small purchase thresholds” (usually under $25,000) allow departments to hire you without going through the whole bidding circus.
🎯 Secret Sauce: Get on the Vendor List
This part is wildly overlooked - but hugely effective.
Most towns, counties, and school districts maintain a list of “approved vendors.” Being on that list means:
You get notified first when small contracts open up
You might get sole-sourced for smaller projects
Departments can skip public bidding entirely and just call you
All you have to do is ask.
Call the city procurement office
Say you’re a local business offering X service
Ask to be added to the vendor database or directory
Email them your W-9, business license, and capability statement
Boom. You're in the game.
📌 Bonus Pro Tips (That We Wish Someone Told Us Sooner)
Show Up With Food - Local government people are just that: people. Cookies and coffee open more doors than cold emails.
Use Local Lingo - Mention nearby landmarks, community events, or the last town parade. It proves you’re not just fishing for contracts - you’re invested in the community.
Follow Their Budget Meetings - Many towns livestream them. You’ll learn who’s getting what funding and which departments are itching to spend before the fiscal year ends.
Build Relationships With the Admins - They’re the real gatekeepers. A friendly conversation with the city clerk can unlock more opportunity than an entire SEO campaign.
Local government contracts are the perfect starter pack for small businesses that want reliable income, consistent work, and credibility to help them land state or federal contracts down the road.
So pull out your laptop, put on your best polite voice, and make that call to city hall. Your next big break might come from the town you already live in.
🏛️ State Government Contracts: The Middleweight Goldmine That Wears Business Casual
State contracts sit in the sweet spot between the cozy charm of local government gigs and the full-blown bureaucratic beast that is federal procurement. Think of it as the Costco of government work - massive spending, moderate red tape, and carts full of opportunity.
State governments manage billions of dollars in purchasing every year. They buy asphalt by the ton, bandages by the pallet, and IT services like they’re upgrading to Windows 2050. From state universities and parks to transportation departments, public hospitals, prisons, and veterans’ homes, they’ve got money and problems - and they need small businesses to help solve both.
🧾 So What Do States Actually Need?
More than you think. A few examples:
Construction & Maintenance: New roads, school renovations, prison plumbing upgrades, redoing the bathrooms at the DMV because they haven’t changed since 1984.
Technology: Upgrading servers for 16 public agencies, building apps for the unemployment office, installing security cameras in state museums.
Healthcare Services: Nurses for public health outreach, janitors for clinics, companies that clean up hazardous waste from lab testing facilities.
Education & Training: Providing online platforms for adult education, training programs for workforce development, ESL tutors for correctional programs.
Food Services: Catering for state prisons, college cafeterias, and mobile meal programs for senior centers.
Marketing & Outreach: State tourism campaigns, public safety billboards, community health awareness ads (think "Don’t text while driving, Karen" with tax dollars).
Basically, if it exists in the private sector, there’s a version of it in the public one - and the state is often your most lucrative middle-tier customer.
💡 Real-World Examples That Prove It Works
A cleaning company in Michigan landed a $300,000+ contract to clean dormitories at a state university. The contract renews every semester. That’s mop-powered recurring revenue.
A construction firm in North Carolina won a bid to resurface state park walking trails. They now get repeat calls from four parks - plus they get to work in nature. Not a bad gig.
A videographer in Oregon scored a state tourism contract to shoot outdoor lifestyle videos - his drone footage ended up on billboards.
A catering company in Louisiana feeds inmates, public employees, and school conferences all under different state agency umbrellas. Their gumbo is now practically an institution.
A mobile app developer in Arizona got paid six figures to modernize the DMV’s online appointment system. And nobody had to stand in line to thank them.
🛠️ What to Expect When You’re Contracting
You’re moving into bigger-league territory now. So the game gets a little more... bureaucratic. But also more rewarding. Here’s what you’re signing up for:
State Bidding Portals Unlike small-town procurement, most states use official platforms. Think Cal eProcure (California), Georgia Procurement Registry, Illinois BidBuy, and so on. The sites are functional - just don’t expect Netflix-level user experience. More like Internet Explorer circa 2007.
Set-Aside Programs States love to support small and disadvantaged businesses. If you’re a minority-, woman-, or veteran-owned business, or located in a historically underutilized area, you might qualify for set-aside contracts that big corporations can’t even touch.
Certifications States usually require specific certifications like:
MBE (Minority Business Enterprise)
WBE (Women Business Enterprise)
DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
SBE (Small Business Enterprise)
Veteran-Owned or Disabled Veteran-Owned
These take time to acquire - but once you’re in, you’re golden. Plus, certified vendors often get access to exclusive contracts.
Business Licenses and Tax Registration If you’re working across state lines, register your business with that state’s revenue department. No registration, no check. It’s that simple.
Bonding and Insurance Construction, security, healthcare, and tech jobs often require bonding and higher-than-usual liability insurance. Yes, it’s annoying. No, it’s not optional.
🧘♀️ Patience: Your New Procurement Superpower
Let’s be real - state agencies aren’t exactly known for moving fast. You might submit a bid in March and not hear back until July. Or they’ll ask for “one more form” three times. It’s not personal. It’s just how they roll.
That said, once you’re in, it gets easier. You build a track record, agencies trust you, and you get invited to bid on repeat contracts.
Here’s a strategy:
Start small - aim for contracts under $100,000
Make your first project flawless - even if it’s boring
Use that performance to build relationships and credibility
Ask about renewals and related bids once you’re in
🧠 Pro Tips for State Contract Survival
Master Their Portal - Spend a weekend learning the quirks of your state’s procurement system. You’ll thank yourself when deadlines are tight.
Search by NAICS and keywords - Don’t just look for contracts with your business type. Use synonyms, industry codes, and even department names.
Show Up to Pre-Bid Meetings - In person or virtual, they’re gold mines of info. You can ask questions, size up the competition, and sometimes even meet the buyers.
Network at State Events - Conferences and supplier expos are like speed dating for vendors. Bring your business cards and wear comfy shoes.
🧪 Final Thought
State government contracts are big enough to be exciting, but not so big they’ll drown you in paperwork. If you’ve already dipped your toe in local work - or you’re ready to scale beyond small potatoes - this is where you go next.
It’s like moving from high school JV to college ball. The field’s bigger, the players are tougher, but the rewards? Way sweeter.
🇺🇸 Federal Government Contracts: The Big Leagues
If state contracts are a marathon, federal ones are an Ironman Triathlon - with spreadsheets, surprise acronyms, soul-testing patience, and enough forms to bury your office printer. But don’t let that scare you off - these contracts come with serious dollar signs. We’re talking about deals that could fund your next five years (or five spontaneous trips to Aruba - if you're feeling bold).
The federal government buys everything. Literally. Fighter jet maintenance? Check. Custom ergonomic desk chairs? Yup. Bulk glitter for July 4th parade banners? Also yes. There are over $600 billion in federal contracting dollars up for grabs every year - and a huge chunk of that is reserved just for small businesses.
And here’s the kicker - unlike working with that flaky client who "forgets" to pay, the federal government will pay you. Eventually. On time-ish. And with compound interest in consistency.
💡 What To Expect (Besides Paperwork Dreams)
Registration in SAM.gov - This is your golden ticket to the federal world. It’s like Facebook for bureaucrats - everyone who’s bidding has a profile, a cage code, and a weird obsession with PDFs.
NAICS Codes - The North American Industry Classification System assigns you official codes like you’re in some kind of economic Hogwarts. If you do social media marketing, cybersecurity, asphalt paving, goat rental for lawn mowing (yes, really) - there’s a code for that.
More Competition - You’re no longer just up against Jerry’s Landscaping down the street - you're bidding against contractors from coast to coast. But that also means way more opportunities.
Longer Timelines - From proposal to payout can take months. Have snacks and a therapist.
🧠 Who They Love to Work With
Federal agencies especially like small businesses that are:
Certified - If you’re an 8(a), HUBZone, Woman-Owned, or Veteran-Owned business, they legally have to consider you for set-asides. That's like a Fast Pass at Disney - for government cash.
Well-Prepared - Know how to attach 14 forms without accidentally uploading your vacation selfies.
Performance-Ready - Past performance is everything. It’s not enough to say you can do the job - they want to see that you have done it, with paperwork and a polite smile.
📦 Real-Life Examples
A veteran-owned logistics company in Florida landed a $1.2 million contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs to manage warehouse supply chains. No, they weren’t a Fortune 500 - just a scrappy, well-prepared team with good documentation and a killer capability statement.
A Colorado-based software firm scored a Department of Homeland Security contract to develop disaster response apps - think of it like Tinder, but for emergency responders and supply chain.
A New York bakery got a sweet contract (pun intended) to supply baked goods to a federal detention center. Because even inmates deserve brownies.
A Texas-based mobile mechanic business now services USDA vehicles in the middle of nowhere. Apparently, the feds hate broken down trucks just as much as we do.
An Illinois-based wellness consultant landed a recurring mental health training contract with the Department of Labor. Namaste meets bureaucracy.
🗺️ Tip Jar for Survival in the Federal Arena
Use your local PTAC (Procurement Technical Assistance Center) - They’re like government Sherpas, guiding you through the mountain of forms, systems, and acronyms.
Network with contracting officers - They’re real people. They appreciate good conversation, timely emails, and snacks. Especially snacks.
Read the RFP (Request for Proposal) - All of it. Every page. Even the part that references 12 other PDFs. Then read it again with a glass of something strong.
Save everything - Your proposals, forms, certifications, and your sanity. Organize it. The feds love order.
Be persistent - You might not win on your first try. Or fifth. But when you do win - it’s game-changing.
Federal contracting can feel like trying to play Monopoly blindfolded. But once you're in, it’s like unlocking a business cheat code. You can grow faster, hire more confidently, and build a revenue pipeline that's more recession-proof than gold.
So don’t fear the feds. Tame the paperwork beast, polish your past performance, get those certifications in order, and prepare to swim in alphabet soup until you strike that sweet GSA-approved gold.
And remember - every massive government contract started with a small business that dared to fill out one too many forms. Your turn.
📝 Before You Bid: Get Your Government Homework Done
Before you go chasing that government cheese, you’ve got to pack your paperwork picnic. Government contracts don’t just fall into your lap like surprise birthday cake - you have to prep. But once you’ve got your house in order, bidding becomes less of a bureaucratic nightmare and more of a structured hustle.
🛎️ Step 1: Register in SAM.gov
SAM.gov (System for Award Management) is where the party starts. No registration, no contracts. Think of it as the government’s VIP list - and you’re not getting into Club Fed without your name on it.
It’s free to register, but it’s not exactly a Sunday stroll. Expect to fill out details about your company, bank accounts, ownership structure, and past performance. Once you’re in, government buyers can find you - and that’s half the battle.
Pro tip: SAM.gov is notorious for its slow pace. Don’t wait until the night before a bid is due. Register now - even if you’re just curious.
📇 Step 2: Get Your DUNS or UEI Number (Fast!)
DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) is being phased out, but many systems still reference it. Now, you’ll more often need a UEI (Unique Entity Identifier), which comes from SAM.gov itself. Either way, this is your government ID number - like a social security number for your business.
Good news: If you’re applying for a contract, you can request an expedited UEI. Just tell them you’re bidding on a contract - and suddenly they move like they’ve had espresso.
🧰 Step 3: Know Your NAICS Codes
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is how Uncle Sam categorizes you. If you mow lawns, build apps, or write jingles for dentists - there’s a NAICS code for that. Some businesses qualify under multiple codes, so don’t be shy.
Example: A digital agency might use 541613 for marketing consulting, 541810 for advertising, and 541511 for custom web development.
💼 Step 4: Craft a Killer Capability Statement
This is your business’s Tinder profile - but for bureaucrats. One page. One mission: prove you’re reliable, skilled, and awesome to work with. Include:
Company overview
Core competencies
Differentiators (what makes you special)
Past performance highlights
Contact info and UEI
Relevant NAICS codes and certifications
Make it professional, clean, and readable. If it looks like it was made in 1997 by someone’s cousin, redo it. Your capability statement should make procurement officers say, “Ooooh, finally!”
🎖️ Step 5: Collect Your Certifications
The government loves labels - and certain certifications open the door to set-aside contracts (meaning only certain businesses can compete).
Helpful certifications include:
WOSB - Women-Owned Small Business
SDVOSB - Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
HUBZone - Historically Underutilized Business Zone
8(a) - Economically and socially disadvantaged businesses
These can seriously boost your chances, especially in competitive markets. Bonus: Many state and local governments honor these too.
🔍 Step 6: Master the Search Tools
Your new best friends:
SAM.gov - for federal opportunities
BidNet Direct - many local and state bids
GovWin - more advanced tracking (paid tool)
Your local/state procurement portals - every state has its own, and yes, they all look like they were built in 2004
Bookmark them. Visit weekly. Set alerts. Bids come and go quickly, so being the early bird isn’t optional - it’s critical.
Before you even think about submitting a bid, knock these steps out. This is your foundation. Without it, bidding is like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops - awkward, slow, and probably doomed.
Now that your business has its government ID, a sleek statement, and a digital passport, you're ready to start chasing contracts like a pro. Let’s roll.
💼 AMS Digital’s Real Role in This
Let’s be clear - AMS Digital isn’t some dusty government contract consultant who lives in Excel and breathes compliance clauses. We’re not writing 300-page proposals in legalese or calling the GSA to update your fax number (honestly, we don’t even own a fax machine - we traded it for cold brew and Canva Pro).
But here’s what we do - and it just might be what gets your business the attention, credibility, and polish it needs to land serious government deals.
🚀 We Make You Look Like You Belong at the Table (Even If You Just Built the Table Yesterday)
You could have the best service in the game - but if your branding screams “I made this on Word in 2008” or your capability statement looks like a sad résumé for a part-time babysitter, you’re toast.
That’s where AMS Digital shines.
We help:
Develop Capability Statements that look like they were made by a Fortune 500 creative team - not your cousin who "kind of knows Photoshop." Think government-speak with a splash of swagger. Stats, experience, and killer design all on one page.
Build Custom Websites that instantly boost your credibility. Let’s face it - the first thing that contracting officer will do after reading your proposal? Google you. And if your website loads slower than federal paperwork or looks like it’s powered by clip art, you’ve already lost.
Nail Your SEO and Paid Ads so when a government agency checks you out, you show up like a boss. Because yes - even the feds Google their vendors.
Polish Your Branding and Messaging so your company voice says, “We’re ready to handle this contract like pros,” not “We just started this thing last Thursday.”
Design Brochures, Pitch Decks, Digital Portfolios, and Promo Materials so sharp they could win awards - and contracts.
🛠️ Real Talk: This Is About More Than Pricing
Government contracts don’t always go to the cheapest bid. They go to the most trustworthy. The most professional. The one that looks like it already works with the government - even if it doesn’t yet.
That means your image matters.
Whether you’re a:
Mobile notary looking to land courthouse gigs
Commercial roofer bidding on county facility repairs
Drone pilot angling for infrastructure inspections
Caterer aiming to feed state employees without getting burned (figuratively and literally)
Janitorial crew trying to clean up on municipal maintenance contracts
Cybersecurity startup taking a shot at Department of Defense subcontracting
...you’re not just selling a service. You’re selling the idea that you’ve got your stuff together. That you’re the safe bet. That your business won’t ghost the government mid-project because your invoice software crashed.
And nothing screams “safe bet” louder than a sharp, consistent brand with pro-level digital presence.
🧠 Bonus: We Know What Government Buyers Actually Google
While procurement officers may love regulations, they're still human. That means when you drop your proposal, they’re probably:
Googling your company name
Checking out your site
Peeking at your LinkedIn
Skimming for red flags (or shiny green signals)
AMS Digital makes sure all those touchpoints are working for you - not against you.
We don’t just make marketing materials - we make marketing weapons that cut through red tape like a laser-guided buzzsaw.
🎯 So Let’s Get You That Slice
Government spending isn’t a myth. There’s a trillion-dollar pie being served at every level - and if you’re not showing up with the right tools, someone else is eating your slice.
Let AMS Digital help bake your business into a bid-ready brand that wins once - and keeps winning.
