Online Data Services Offers the Lowdown on Federal Government Bids

July 8, 2008 - PRLog -- New York, NY — Online Data Services helps people find government bids, whether that means federal government bids, state bids, or even local bids.  The company’s focus is RFPs, otherwise known as Requests For Proposals.  These are hard-to-find contracts that help companies do business with governing bodies of the United States.  Government agencies post the bid for professional suppliers, who then submit a proposal.

The process is more difficult than it may appear, since suppliers must offer bids on the contract regardless of whether it’s a commodity or special service.  They must also have a strategy before placing their federal government bids.  Companies that win federal bids must know how to negotiate, how to place a competitive bid, as well as how to deal with industry suppliers.

The first point of contact is a listing service that offers federal government bids. This is the role taken by Online Data Services.  Online Data Services doesn’t play the part of broker, nor does it contact the government office offering the bid.  Rather, the company shows active government bid listings according to the searcher’s criteria.

Through their website http://www.stateandfederalbids.com/, Online Data Services offers free federal government bids along with bid-sourcing software, helping users find the most accurate listings in the country.  The website also provides information on RFP pricing, understanding the bid arrangements, and other related subjects.  Online Data Services is offering a quick educational resource on federal bids.  Interested parties can learn more by calling (866) 459-8947.
