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 will need to develop an aggressive marketing strategy in order to win contracts. Do not only seek out upcoming opportunities - it is vital that you network with purchasing officers and make them aware of your business's offerings. Many vendors skip this step or underestimate its importance, which results in wasted time, money and resources instead of contract awards.

By taking advantage of these strategies and simplified acquisition procedures described in FAR Part 13, US Federal Contractor Registration has introduced the Simplified Acquisition Program. The program combines proven strategies with expert training and has generated millions of dollars in contract awards for small businesses new to federal contracting.

US Federal Contractor Registration has assisted thousands of small firms find their success in federal procurement, including Suburban Surgical Co., Inc, which won over $500,000 in federal contract awards thanks to USFCR's Simplified Acquisition Program.
