How to Find Contracts and e-Procurement Options on UNICOM Government's Site

Updated

UNICOM Government (unicomgov.com) organizes its procurement resources into four groups: an e-Procurement search, contracts by sector, IT assets by sector, and a customer portal for login, registration, and order status. If you are a government buyer looking for a contract vehicle or a way to purchase IT assets, start with the e-Procurement search or the contract list for your sector. If you already have an account, go straight to the portal links.

Start with the e-Procurement search

The site's e-Procurement search is the main entry point for finding procurement options. UNICOM Government describes itself as a provider of turnkey IT solutions and professional services for federal, state, and local government, and the search is where that catalog is exposed.

Use it when you know what you need to buy or which contract vehicle you want to check. If you are unsure which sector applies to your agency, the contract and IT asset lists below are the faster route.

Pick your sector from the contract categories

Contracts are grouped into three sectors, and the same three-sector structure repeats for IT assets:

Sector Contracts section IT assets section
Federal civilian Yes Yes
Federal defense Yes Yes
State and local Yes Yes

Two things follow from this layout:

  • Match your agency type first. A state or local buyer should use the state and local columns, not the federal ones, since the contract vehicles differ by sector.
  • Contracts and IT assets are separate lists. Contracts tell you which vehicles you can buy through; IT assets tell you what hardware and infrastructure is available. Check both if you need to confirm that a specific product is covered by a specific contract.

The site also lists "Other Government Contractors and resellers" as a separate audience, so contractors and resellers should look for that path rather than the agency sectors.

Use the portal for login, registration, and order status

Existing customers have three portal actions:

  • Login — for current account holders.
  • Register — for new users who need portal access.
  • Order status — to check where an existing order stands.

If you are placing an order and need to track it, order status is the direct link. If your agency is new to UNICOM Government, register before attempting login.

A practical sequence

  1. Identify your sector: federal civilian, federal defense, or state and local.
  2. Open the contracts list for that sector to confirm which vehicle applies to your purchase.
  3. Cross-check the IT assets list for the same sector to confirm the products you need are available.
  4. If you cannot find the item or vehicle, run the e-Procurement search.
  5. Register for the portal if you are a new customer; use login and order status if you already have an account.

Common sticking points

  • Wrong sector. Contracts and assets are split three ways; a federal defense vehicle will not appear under state and local.
  • Confusing contracts with assets. A contract listing does not by itself confirm a specific product is available — check the IT assets list for your sector.
  • Contractors using agency paths. If you are a contractor or reseller, look for the dedicated "Other Government Contractors and resellers" entry rather than the agency sections.

The site does not publish pricing on these pages, so cost and terms have to come from the contract vehicle or a direct inquiry rather than the navigation itself.
