BTB Bids has dedicated itself to connecting small business enterprises (SBE's)
around the country with the best government bids, purchasing & procurement
contracts, and small business leads available.
Our Small Business goal:
The value of the small business to the American economy CANNOT be understated!
The various government agencies throughout the country recognize this fact by
providing numerous municipal, school, and authority bid leads opportunities
designed specifically to benefit these Small Business Enterprises (SBE's).
The problem is that most small businesses simply do not know:
1) how to properly register with their respective state authorities in order
to qualify for these jobs, and
2) how to find out what jobs are available in their specific industries & in
the geographic regions they cover.
BTBbids has been actively contacting state and private Small Business
Enterprise organizations and programs in order to come up with an effective
solution for getting these various set-aside bid job listings to the companies
that can best use them. Many interesting ideas are being considered, including
free bid reports, greatly reduced subscription prices (at near-cost), and even
week or month-long trials, in order to get these businesses more involved in the
state contract set-aside and local bid process.
