Do a search on Fed Biz Opps and go to the web site.
Government organizations post notices of work they need done and information on how to bid on the job.

Why do you say good luck with that question?


i mean there are tons of pages on net that want your money to do this and i have a hard time believing that this is only route.

Is this a taboo question or is it a question asked alot with no response?

Government bids are not easy to win, anyone that is successful in winning them will not be likely to give you that info. and turn you into a competitor. In my experience in the engraving industry, you want to avoid most bidding situations. Work on building relationships with your customers and you'll get a lot more repeat business instead of having to "win" them back every time they need something.

Just my .01 (can't afford .02 anymore...)

these guy's on here with successful shops are not going to tell you how to get in the game. this question has been asked over and over. your question was you want to buy a 5 axes machine and get some long running jobs. well join the 10 million others on here that is trying to do the same. IT'S CALLED COMPETITION they are not going to give you a list of their customers or even help you get in the game. good luck dude.
