What is govmates?
govmates is the premier teaming partner platform for government contractors.
We take a formulaic and methodical approach to matchmaking by maintaining current, granular data of our small business members.
We facilitate teaming introductions, conduct market research and support small business outreach in the government contracting community.
govmates was very helpful in supporting a small business outreach event for us. I appreciated their organization and responsiveness in bringing qualified small businesses to meet with our managers.
