MedTech Institute | Selling to the Federal Government

University at Albany East Campus, George Education Center, 1 University Place, Rensselaer, NY

Selling to the Federal Government can significantly increase your company’s bottom line and become a reliable and continuous source of business—and the process is not as complicated as you may think.

In 2011, the federal government paid $536.6 billion to third-party contractors: $19.4 billion from HHS, $446.5 million from NSF and $11.2 billion within New York State. Agencies like DARPA, Veterans Affairs, and the NYS Department of Health are looking for suppliers and development partners for a wide range of healthcare needs and settings.

With more than 18,400 active federal opportunities alone, you're missing out if you're not selling to the government.
