Hey everyone! My name is Chris Perry, and I’m based in Houston, Texas. I’m a U.S. Army veteran with 18 years of service, specializing in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), security operations, leadership, and personnel management. Throughout my military and civilian career, I’ve gained extensive experience in operational planning, logistics, risk management, and working within government and defense environments. I’m currently building Veytrion Enterprises LLC, a company focused on entering the federal government contracting space, particularly Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procurement, government supply contracts, and eventually defense and security-related contracting opportunities. My goal is to leverage my military background, business experience, and understanding of government operations to build a successful, scalable contracting company. I’m here to learn the ins and outs of federal procurement, connect with experienced contractors, understand the bidding process, and build meaningful partnerships. I believe in networking, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities where everyone can grow. Although I’m new to government contracting as a business owner, I’m no stranger to the government environment. Looking forward to connecting, learning, and hopefully collaborating with some of you. Let’s win some contracts!

Question

Hello! First of all I am very grateful to be able to learn from each of you and to Day and the team for hosting this platform. I’m preparing my first WOSB bid for a COTS electrical connector in FSC 5935. It’s above the micro-purchase threshold, the non-manufacturer rule is waived, Buy American/Balance of Payments requirements applies and delivery is 167 days after award. Do I have to obtain country-of-origin documentation from the distributor before bidding, is that correct? Also, how does payment work if supplier requires credit card? Do I pay when items ship and then submit invoice and wait for payment from govt. Thank you!
