Let's Make a Deal: Introducing RFP-EZ

Today we're taking the wraps off of a new experiment in government contracting: RFP-EZ. This project is an exciting partnership between the US Small Business Administration and the White House’s Presidential Innovation Fellows. Our intent is a simple one-- make it easier for companies to sell to the government and easier for the government to buy from companies.

 
How do I use RFP-EZ?

If you've never done business with the federal government before, you don't have to worry about getting on any schedules or dealing with a cumbersome registration processes. Through RFP-EZ, a company can easily search for an opportunity, see a statement of work and bid for a project all on the RFP-EZ site.



You can register and start bidding now, here: 

http://rfpez.sba.gov

 
What kinds of projects are available for bid?

You can bid on a variety of contracts ranging from video transcription, to web design, to web application development.  Projects range from $3,000 to $150,000.

 
How can I give feedback to the RFP-EZ process?

Here at SBA, we’re committed to listening to small business owners and taking their ideas and turning them into solutions. As we learn more from this experiment, we hope to expand procurement opportunities to other categories. RFP-EZ will be open for a limited time as we measure its impact and determine how to best move forward. It's important that you give us any feedback, comments or new ideas you may have. You can do so by following us on Twitter @ProjectRFPEZ  or e-mailing us at rfpez at sba.gov.



In fact, if you like this idea, feel free to use these tweets to talk about this project:
