Procurement, sourcing and bid services

Four ways NextStar Procurement helps government agencies, suppliers and industrial buyers get the right goods and services, on time and in compliance.

Government supply contracting

We bid on and perform contracts to supply goods and services to federal and Illinois government agencies. We act as the prime contractor, which means one accountable party for the agency, backed by vetted suppliers and subcontractors.

  • Competitive bids on federal and state solicitations
  • Subcontractor and supplier selection, with insurance and compliance checks
  • Delivery coordination, documentation and monthly invoicing
  • Contract administration through the full term

Procurement and supply chain consulting

For organizations that spend heavily on goods and services, we find where money leaks and where leverage is being left unused. Engagements are scoped to the problem, with clear deliverables.

  • Strategic sourcing and supplier negotiation
  • Spend and cost-recovery reviews
  • Contract management and supplier performance
  • Procurement process and policy design

Bid and registration support for suppliers

Many capable small businesses never win public work because the paperwork is a barrier. We help you get registered, read solicitations correctly and submit bids that are complete and compliant.

  • Federal (SAM.gov), Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy registration
  • Solicitation review and bid / no-bid advice
  • Bid preparation, pricing and forms
  • Capability statements and past-performance write-ups

Industrial sourcing for West Africa mining

Mining operations in Ghana need dependable supply of consumables and spares. Drawing on years of procurement experience in the sector, we source from US and international suppliers and manage the buying process end to end.

  • Welding consumables, wear-resistant steel and plant spares
  • Supplier qualification, quotation comparison and negotiation
  • Quality control and payment terms that protect the buyer
  • Export documentation and shipment coordination

Common questions

Which government agencies do you work with?

We bid on federal and Illinois state solicitations. Our contract record so far is with Illinois state agencies. Consulting and bid support are open to organizations anywhere in the United States, and our mining sourcing work serves buyers in Ghana.

Can you help my business register to bid on government contracts?

Yes. We help suppliers set up and maintain their federal (SAM.gov) registration and their Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy registrations, and understand which solicitations suit them.

Do you deliver the goods and services yourselves?

We are the accountable contractor and we source through vetted suppliers and subcontractors. The agency deals with us for the whole contract.

How is consulting priced?

Each engagement is scoped and quoted before work starts, so you know the deliverables and the fee up front.

Can I see a capabilities statement?

Yes. Email us and we will send it.

Have a requirement, a solicitation or a sourcing problem?
