Start bid readinessWhat the public record shows
Do not assume your first opportunity has to be a giant RFP.
Georgia procurement audit reports for January through May 2026 recorded 434 awarded solicitations. 221 were Requests for Quotes (RFQs), about 51% of the five-month sample. The mix changed month to month, so this is not a promise that every market behaves the same way. It is a strong reason to evaluate RFQs, smaller purchases, subcontracting, and other entry lanes instead of treating complex RFPs as the only path into public revenue.

What we need from you
For the first review, bring the basics: what you sell, your service area, years operating, approximate revenue and employee range, largest completed project, prior government work, known supplier registrations, certifications, and what kind of opportunity you want. Do not worry if you do not know your NAICS or NIGP codes yet—that uncertainty is itself useful readiness information.
