Dear Valued Members,
The USHCC is pleased to announce the USHCC Procurement Portal! We have recently developed a database of all current bid opportunities offered by the U.S. Government through its (Government) electronic commerce sites. The USHCC now provides not only all bidding opportunities from 7 different Government sites but is providing research of past awards and expiring contracts to assist Hispanic companies in identifying contract potential prior to opportunities being posted on each of the Government sites. Please visit www.ushccbids.com and register TODAY!
Primary issues which concern the Chamber would be lack of knowledge by the Hispanic business community relative to the huge potential for business doing business with the Government as well as the process required by the Government to market and register as a potential vendor. While there are thousands of opportunities posted each day by the Department of Defense and Federal Government, research shows that the Government does not select Hispanic companies as vendors via the current vendor selection process. The most significant issue is that of the approximately 250,000 Hispanic companies only 2,898 received awards in 2008- also less than 16,000 Hispanic companies registered with the Government as a potential Government contractor, further that the Defense Logistics Agency, the world’s largest buyer of products/parts issued over 2 million competitive awards in 2008 and of that, less than 300 companies received contracts while on one day the USHCC identified over 25,000 potential solicitation/opportunities which apply to USHCC members and that of the existing bid opportunities on the primary Federal Electronic Commerce site, 5,521 Hispanic companies provide products and services that could have met the requirements of the Government for a total of over 30,000 contracts in one day.
The USHCC intends to “push” potential contracts and associated technical/contract data to its members and educate the members as to how to market to the U.S. Government. The Chamber, in attempting to stimulate registration of Hispanic companies, has contacted the Procurement and Technical Assistance Centers in order to develop a plan to assist the Hispanic Business community. The current effort by the USHCC to provide bidding opportunities relies solely on individual members to subscribe to the Bid Line database. |
