A question for this group: For large or small IT resellers focusing on the US Federal government, such as CDW, Carahsoft, SHI, and V3Gate, can anyone tell me what percentage the reseller company typically receives? For example, if the Federal government buys $1 billion worth of software from a reseller, what percentage do they typically receive after paying other companies?
I’m also wondering if anyone has experience in this business. What are the most challenging aspects, and are there any catches? Thanks.
All I can tell you for certain is that government RFP’s are always more expensive than commercial ones.
