Last Tuesday our campaign team started putting small American flags on each of our larger signs in the Redding area as our tribute to Memorial Day….being a little creative to call attention to the fact that many have died for our country over the years to keep us a free nation. Today, my opponent for the position of Shasta County Assessor Recorder in the June 8th election, “followed the leader” and started putting out their flags on their signs….and we appreciate their efforts to also call attention to this great national holiday

So you want to do business with the federal government but think it’s too difficult, cumbersome, or bureaucratic.  Think again.   Did you know that the federal government is the largest consumer in America?  Did you know that they will spend over three quarters of a trillion dollars on services and supplies this year? Many people are turned off by the perceived bureaucracy and justifiably so.  Even government procurement officers will admit that it can be difficult to navigate through the GSA, CAGE, ORCA, FedBizOpps and the dozens of other websites that can lead businesses to a treasure trove of opportunities.  The reality is that doing business with the federal government isn’t that much more difficult than doing business with any other large corporation where knowledge holds the key to success and patience is the ultimate virtue.  First, you have to identify what products you have and to whom would they be sold.  I asked a procurement officer recently if there is anything that the government doesn’t purchase and in a word he said “NO”.   The government has millions of employees in virtually every nation on  Earth.  They need anything and everything that you can imagine.   In fact, they need so much that their procurement site FedBizOpps typically has between two and five thousand RFP’s every day of the year including Christmas and Easter! To put this in perspective for those who focus solely on the private sector; the federal government is bigger than every insurance company combined
