You can find government contracts in New Jersey in three places: the state procurement system for New Jersey state-agency bids, individual county and city portals for local RFPs, and SAM.gov for federal opportunities performed in New Jersey. The catch: those sources are scattered across dozens of separate websites.

Where to Find Government Contracts in New Jersey

For New Jersey state contracts, the central hub is NJSTART (njstart.gov), the state's official eProcurement system, where vendors register, find solicitations, and submit bids; it is run by the Division of Purchase and Property within the NJ Department of the Treasury. Small, minority/women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses can pursue state set-asides through NJ's SBE, MWBE, and VOB certification programs (with help from the NJ Business Action Center), and must hold a Business Registration Certificate. For federal contracts in New Jersey, use SAM.gov for opportunities and registration and USAspending.gov to research awards.
