It’s very possible to do so. Partner with someone in the space and they take a vig.

An even better option is to partner with a veteran owned entity, which often allows you to bypass the bidding process.

The funding was tied to women and minorities only, so no veteran option. Also I would have had to get certified for that specific location which involves a third party that comes in and interviews the women / minorities to make sure they have actual positions of power and were not just figureheads. They had a scale down option so they could opt for a very small purchase that would actually be smaller than the audit cost let alone the cost of passing such an audit.
