Navigating the U.S. Government Contracting Landscape

Expeditors

You’d be surprised how far we’ll go for you.

Published Nov 27, 2024

The U.S. Government is the world’s largest consumer of goods and services, with annual spending exceeding $9 trillion across federal, state, and local levels. Its economic impact is immense, accounting for roughly 40% of the United States’ Gross Domestic Product.

The U.S. Government contracting landscape is vast, with over 674,000 registered businesses in SAM.gov and a constant stream of new opportunities. This presents a significant market for companies seeking government business opportunities for goods and services. We are excited to announce that Expeditors is expanding its capacity as a U.S. government contractor. Expeditors currently acts as a U.S. government subcontractor through many key contracts. We are well-positioned to expand this offering to the U.S. government contracting community across our global network.

If you are a U.S. Federal Agency, SLED (State, Local, & Education Department), or part of the U.S. Government/Defense Industrial and Services sector looking for service-based logistics providers, what does this mean for you?
