U.S. Government Contracting: New Horizons for Expeditors

The U.S. Government is the world’s largest consumer of goods and services, with annual spending exceeding $9 trillion across federal, state, and local levels. Its economic impact is immense, accounting for roughly 40% of the United States’ Gross Domestic Product. 

The U.S. Government contracting landscape is vast, with over 674,000 registered businesses in SAM.gov and a constant stream of new opportunities. This presents a significant market for companies seeking government business opportunities for goods and services. We are excited to announce that Expeditors is expanding its capacity as a U.S. government contractor. Expeditors currently acts as a U.S. government subcontractor through many key contracts. We are well-positioned to expand this offering to the U.S. government contracting community across our global network.

If you are a U.S. Federal Agency, SLED (State, Local, & Education Department), or part of the U.S. Government/Defense Industrial and Services sector looking for service-based logistics providers, what does this mean for you?
