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 for any government contractor seeking partners, usually based upon capabilities, customer past performance, set-asides or other contract-specific needs
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.
