Business types

How your business type changes the checks.

Your business type tells Greenlight what part of a solicitation to judge. You can pick more than one. A bid that fits any of them can pass the lane check.

  • Resell or distribute products: judged by the items bought. Supplier rules apply.
  • Manufacture products: judged by the products made or bought.
  • Provide services: judged by the scope of work, not small incidental items.
  • Construction or trades: judged by the construction, repair or install scope.
  • Research and development: judged by the research area. Adds the SBIR/STTR source.
  • Nonprofit or grant-funded: judged by the funded activities. Adds the Grants.gov source.

Every type starts with SAM.gov as a source.
