Government agencies move enormous volumes of freight every year, and much of it runs through prime contractors who need reliable transportation partners. Yet most small logistics firms never get a shot. The reason is almost always the same: no government past performance.
The problem
- Primes and agencies want proof you have moved government freight before, and new entrants have none.
- Defense and federal freight programs have their own registration and compliance requirements that commercial brokers rarely see.
- Small firms do not know which primes hold the logistics contracts, or who to call inside them.
Where the opportunity is
The fastest path in is usually subcontracting. Large primes holding transportation, logistics, and project cargo contracts with DoD and civilian agencies need capable small business partners, and many have small business goals to meet. Every load you move for a prime builds the record you need to compete on your own later.
How GovTechPath solves it
- Confirm your SAM.gov registration, NAICS codes, and size status, and check eligibility for the freight programs that apply to you.
- Identify the primes that hold logistics contracts matching your lanes and freight types, and rank them by fit.
- Introduce you to their small business teams with a capability statement built for government logistics buyers.
- Track subcontract and teaming opportunities and support you through each pursuit.
