Government bid writing and dead-lead revival in Connecticut

CTsource

CTsource, managed by DAS, is the single point for vendor registration, solicitation posting and contract information. Set aside competitions are flagged in the system, which makes accurate certification records commercially significant.

DAS Supplier Diversity and Small Business Certification, with a 25 percent set aside

Connecticut runs one of the stronger set aside regimes in the country: a statutory share of state contracting is set aside for certified small and minority owned businesses through the Department of Administrative Services.

Federal work in Connecticut

Federal opportunities located in Connecticut, from VA facilities and federal buildings to land management and defence work, are published on SAM.gov. Our Research and Opportunity Desk reviews SAM.gov alongside the Connecticut portal for active engagements, so a client sees both markets in one pipeline. The federal government awarded over $176 billion to small businesses in FY2024, per SBA figures, and Connecticut firms compete for that work on the same terms as firms anywhere in the country.

Dead-lead revival for Connecticut businesses

The pilot is built for Connecticut firms such as dental practices, law firms, insurance agencies, remodeling companies, and financial services firms. It works the list the business already owns, email first, at $1,497 for 14 days plus $75 per kept appointment. Every campaign runs consent first and is reviewed against Connecticut telemarketing rules before launch.
