The Simplified Acquisition Program Trains Businesses To Win Federal Contracts

By Celeste Osborne

Federal government contracting has offered millions of businesses an exciting and reliable source of revenue during even the most economically uncertain of times. Even during the recent recession when the private sector wasn't spending money, government demand for products and services was still going strong. For these reasons, thousands of businesses every month register for their shot at doing business with Uncle Sam. The federal market is highly competitive and can be very difficult to break into for an inexperienced firm. To help small businesses receive the same opportunities as established vendors, US Federal Contractor Registration has developed a strategy to enable any business to compete for contracts.

The very first thing businesses should do is evaluate their readiness for government contracting and the government's needs for their products or services. There are several resources that should be utilized in researching where your business fits in the federal market, including the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), FebBizOpps (FBO), USASpending.gov, and Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS).

The next step is completing all required registrations, as well as those that are optional but can give you an edge. You may already be aware that you need a DUNS number and will need to complete System for Award Management registration, or SAM, but there may be other registrations you're less aware of that can help you win contract awards. If your business is considered small by the SBA, don't forget to register in the DSBS, as this is where many contracting officers look for small businesses to award contracts to. Also, depending on your company's demographics, there may be other registrations you should complete, such as VetBiz.

Finally, you'll need to develop an effective marketing strategy. The best strategy will include a combination of researching upcoming projects and opportunities as well as making purchasing officers aware of your company's offerings. It's easy for vendors to overlook this step, but it is the most important step in becoming a successful government contractor and skipping it is one of the top reasons why most businesses never win a single contract.

Recognizing the importance of this strategy, US Federal Contractor Registration has developed their Simplified Acquisition Program. By combining proven strategies with expert training, this program has helped generate millions of dollars in contract awards for small businesses. The Simplified Acquisition Program takes advantage of the simplified acquisition threshold and procedures laid out by Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13. US Federal Contractor Registration's program includes everything a vendor needs to start winning contracts as quickly as possible.

US Federal Contractor Registration has helped thousands of small businesses find success in federal contracting, including DLP Enterprises, which won over $1.6 million in contract awards thanks to the Simplified Acquisition Program.
