Experts: Vendors, be prepared for spike in demand during ‘federal buying season’
Businesses that sell to federal agencies know that the government market is nothing to sneeze at. After all, federal government purchases of goods and services should reach $1.11 trillion in 2009, rising to $1.12 trillion in 2010, according to a January Government Product News forecast. More importantly, the federal government’s fiscal year ends September 30, and that means loads of selling opportunities for savvy government marketers between now and September 30.
