The Simplified Acquisition Program Provides Specialized Federal Contractor Training For Small Businesses
By Celeste Osborne
Many small businesses look to government contracting to help boost their bottom line. However, inexperienced business owners often underestimate the significant time and resource investment necessary to succeed. Although there are many tools and strategies that are effective in helping small businesses succeed, it can be difficult for a new vendor to wrap their head around the complicated regulations and tools they must use to win contracts. US Federal Contractor Registration's Simplified Acquisition Program has compiled a set of essential steps necessary for businesses new to doing business with the federal government.
The most important step is the first; you should thoroughly evaluate whether your business is ready for government contracting and determine whether there is a market for your product or service within the federal government. This can be accomplished through several websites and online databases, 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.
