Healthcare spending in the United States totaled $2.9 trillion in 2013, representing an increase of 3.6 percent over 2012. This spending was distributed at all levels of government and throughout the many subsectors of the healthcare industry, from pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution to medical equipment, laboratory services and physician services. Each of these subsectors provides a range of opportunities for businesses that are seeking to bid on contracts in the healthcare and medical industry.
The drug and pharmaceutical sectors of the healthcare industry are among the most profitable areas of government contracting for businesses. Retail spending on prescription drugs in the U.S. reached $271.1 billion in 2013, a healthy 2.5 percent increase from 2012. State, municipal and county governments regularly issue medical RFPs in an effort to source pharmaceuticals from reputable companies, generating a consistent supply of open bids for eligible businesses.
Government agencies often require the services of medical laboratories, research facilities, and medical equipment manufacturers. $43 billion was spent on medical equipment in 2013 in the United States, a year-on-year increase of 4.2 percent. Your business can benefit directly from these opportunities by using BidNet to review open bids and submit responses to requests for proposals that require medical laboratory services, new equipment or the use of research facilities.
Physician services remain in high demand, even in the age of the multi-purpose private clinic and an increasing reliance on complimentary medical services. A physician’s skills and expertise are essential requirements for any government RFP involving health services or healthcare, and physicians and other healthcare professionals, including nurses, nurse practitioners and paramedics, are regularly contracted to provide consulting, research, or hands-on training for government agencies.
“Since 1998 we’ve used BidNet to alert us of upcoming or published opportunities at the state level that we are interested in. We like that we get the Bid Alert® Bulletins daily, which provide a link to each solicitation. It’s great that the solicitations are included in the notices so we don't have to scramble to find them on each state’s site. BidNet also provides amendments and keeps us up to date.”
