Based out of Phoenix, Arizona, the company B2Gnow is leading the way in helping local, state and federal government agencies with public sector supplier diversity and procurement management software.

Existing for two decades, the organization is excited about the recently passed Infrastructure Law, with a system in place that can assist the diverse and small business participation goals and prompt payment requirements that will be part of the new federal funding that will flow to state and local governments. “Over the past 20 years the B2Gnow system has helped over 400 agencies expand their diverse and small supplier communities and significantly increase their spend with these diverse suppliers,”  B2Gnow CEO Justin Talbot-Stern told Contractor News.
