Is a State license required for Federal projects?
If the project is 100% federal (on federal land, federally funded, etc.), the state does not have jurisdiction and the contractor would follow the requirements by the federal government’s awarding authority. More information is available under Laws, Rules and Regulations, Attorney General’s Opinion # 92-39.
How can a contractor bid on State Government contracts?
A contractor must register as a vendor with the Tennessee Department of General Services. More information can be found on their website here.
