SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
SEC stands for Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal agency that regulates stock markets, investment firms, and public company disclosures.
The SEC is a modest buyer compared to big departments. It buys IT, data services, legal support, facility services, and supplies for its headquarters and regional offices.
Why it matters to a small contractor
The SEC is a niche target. Office services, IT, and supplies firms near its offices may find small buys. Most trade businesses will do better with larger agencies, but small offices still need cleaning and maintenance.
Example
An office furniture dealer quotes on chairs and desks for an SEC regional office through a small purchase.
