What is CONUS contracting?

CONUS contracting refers to government or military contracts that are performed within the Continental United States (CONUS). These contracts typically involve providing goods, services, or construction for federal agencies or the Department of Defense within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. CONUS contracting differs from OCONUS (Outside the Continental United States) contracting, which covers work performed overseas. The process usually involves strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations and may require contractors to have specific security clearances or certifications.
