When the government needs to buy resources from the private sector, the players, it uses Government Orders (GO) to do so. You can think of these as tenders or procurement. To ensure fair order assignment, and cheap fulfillment, the government uses a form of auction, when picking which company to assign the order to.
While the large quantities effectively prohibit small companies to apply directly. The company that gets the government order awarded may need to sub-contract at least part of the order. You can reach out to the company that got the order and discuss subcontracting. The government orders are also a good indicator of future market movements.
What resources is the government buying?
The government needs resources across all industries and in high quantities and certain qualities. The examples are 700 trucks for the Fire Department. 20,000 laptops for the IRS offices. Some orders may combine multiple different resources: 120,000 apples and 200,000 oranges for the Foreign Relief Office, or 300,000 units of petrol and 500,000 units of diesel for National Reserves.
More examples of possible GO’s:

Where to find Government Orders?
Government Orders are located on the Exchange. They have their own section on the left at the very bottom of the list (under bonds).
...
The selection (bidding) process
New government orders are published periodically and there is a 5-day window in which companies can place their bids. The bid is for how much is the company able, or willing to, fulfill the order. The bids remain secret and can be changed or cancelled anytime before the bidding period ends. The company with the lowest bid wins, obviously, the government wants to save money. Only companies level 20+ (Corporation) can place bids. The company value is also taken into account when considering if you will be able to fulfill the order. You can still participate as a subcontractor if your level is too low.
...
The company that is selected because it is the lowest bidder needs to put down a security deposit. The security deposit is known upfront and the company needs to have the cash available at the end of the bidding period. If, the bidder doesn't have the security deposit cash available, the company is disqualified and the next lowest bidder is considered. This is repeated until the government contract can be awarded. In case there are 2 bids of the same size, to break the tie, the time of submission is considered, the sooner the better. There need to be at least 3 eligible bids for the government order to be awarded.
The security deposit is kept by the government and released after the order is fulfilled, together with the fulfillment reward, the original bid.
All bidders become public at the end of the selection process. The bid values will remain private.
The government reserves the right to cancel the government order if there aren't at least 3 bids or if there's a suspicion of the process being manipulated.
Fulfillment period
The company the government order was awarded to has a certain time period to fulfill the order, this can be 3, 5 or 10 days. The order has to be fulfilled in full. If it fails to do so the government keeps the security deposit, additionally, the government agencies will not accept any bids from this company for the next 30 days.
The government order can be fulfilled anytime before the deadline in which case the security deposit and fulfillment reward, the original bid, are awarded right away. The quality of goods delivered has to be the required quality or higher. Mixed quality goods are allowed - it's not necessary for the whole delivery to be the same quality.
When fulfilling the Government Order you will need to have all the products in your warehouse.
The green button at the top right will turn dark green when requirements have been met.
A successfully filled Government Order will show a green check mark in the upper right corner.
A failed Government Order will show a red X in the top right corner.
Recap

Fulfillment can be 3, 5, or 10 days (depending on the GO)
Fulfillment has to be in full (failure and the government keeps deposit – restricted from bidding for 30 days)

当政府需要从私营部门（玩家）购买资源时，它会发出政府订单（GO）。你可以把这些看作是招标或采购。为了确保公平的订单分配和廉价的采购，政府在选择承包商时采用投标的形式。
想要竞标政府订单的公司需要组成3至7个承包商的团队，并共同申请政府订单竞标。
...

等级
根据你公司的规模，你将被分配到不同的等级。一般来说，等级越高，完成订单需要交付的资源就越多。但是，你的团队成员、承包商的数量以及他们的等级也决定了你交付的数量。
投标中最大的承包商的等级决定了该投标的总等级，以及必须交付的资源量。如果有低等级的承包商，则较高级的承包商必须填补他们的部分。
投标页面准确显示了每个承包商必须交付多少。

The “per unit of” means the price the Government is going to pay for each resource when the Government Order is awarded.

Will pay $10 for Q3 Fabric.

奖金
主承包商，即创建政府订单投标申请的公司，决定团队为每种资源获得的报酬。根据承包商各自等级交付的数量，奖励在承包商之间分配。
政府订单投标价格低的将首先中标。
如果政府订单投标中标并且承包商交付了所需数量，则支付奖励。即使其他承包商没有交付他们的部分，也会在交付时立即支付（你的）奖励。
...
保证金
每个承包商都必须支付保证金。投标的所有承包商交付所需资源后，保证金将退还。
定金在政府订单投标中标时收取。如果任何承包商没有足够的现金，整个投标将被取消资格。
The deposits are taken at the time of Government Order Bid being awarded. Meaning your team WON the bid.
If any of the contractors doesn’t have enough cash, the whole bid is disqualified.
If all contractors have the money, each team member has to put down their deposit. The deposit is returned once ALL contractors on the bid delivered the required amounts.
...
交付
一旦你参加的申请中标，你只需单击即可交付相应资源。奖励将立即支付。一旦你所在投标的所有承包商都交付，保证金将退还。
交付订单的时间有限制，以天为单位。
Once the bid; you are contractor on is awarded, you can simply click to deliver the resources against it. The reward is paid immediately. The deposit is returned once all contractors on your bid deliver.
There is a time limit, in days, on how much time you have to deliver against the order.

If Q2 is listed you can fulfill the order with Q2+
and so on

政府正在购买哪些资源？
政府需要各行各业的大量且具有特定品质的资源。例如，消防部门需要 700 辆卡车。国税局需要 20,000 台笔记本电脑。有些订单可能结合了多种不同的资源：外国救济办公室需要 120,000 个苹果和 200,000 个橙子，国家储备需要 300,000 单位汽油和 500,000 单位柴油。
数量由等级决定，并在你的投标中由承包商分摊。

要在哪里找到政府订单？
政府订单页面可以在交易所里找到。它们位于顶行最右侧的建筑图标中。
...
选择（中标/授权）流程
新的政府订单会定期发布，并且有 5 天的时间让公司组队并投标。你可以确定交付的“回报金额”以及交付价格。投标将保密，并且可以在投标期结束前随时更改或取消。
多个政府订单投标会被接受并授予订单；直到考虑了一定比例的申请，或者政府得到了需要的数量。
你可以假设 50% - 70% 的竞标团队将中标。
出价最低的投标获胜，显然，政府希望省钱。
一旦中标，政府就会公布所有中标投标中订购的数量。
...
风险和注意事项
确保你了解你正在参加政府订单投标的合作伙伴。申请中的公司越多，你需要交付的越少。虽然好处很多，但你应该注意以下风险：
如果其他承包商之一没有足够的现金来支付他们的保证金，你的投标将不予考虑和授予。
如果其他承包商之一没有交付，你（以及全队成员）将失去保证金。
主承包商，即设置投标的公司，可以尝试更改投标价格而无需与你讨论。
...
回顾
公司等级必须是20级以上才能投标
你需要与3-7家公司组成团队/投标。
你的价格（投标）越低，中标（被选中）的机会就越大。
在考虑中标时，你需要准备好足够的现金作为保证金。
The deposits are only taken if you WIN the bid. If any of the contractors doesn’t have enough cash, the whole bid is disqualified so there will be no need to pay the deposit.
你需要及时交付才能获得奖励。
你投标中的每个承包商都需要及时交付，以便每个人都能拿回保证金。
