Simplified Acquisition Program Teaches Techniques To Succeed In Federal Contracting

By Celeste Osborne


Federal procurement has paved the path of success for millions of businesses looking to increase their bottom line and secure financial stability. However, becoming a successful government contractor requires a significant investment of both time and resources. Poor resource management can be devastating to any business, but small businesses are especially vulnerable. US Federal Contractor Registration recommends businesses interested in federal contracting follow a few simple steps to help them find success and not squander their resources.

The very first thing businesses should do is evaluate their readiness for federal procurement 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 and filing all required registrations, as well as those that are optional but can give you a vital 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, the world's largest third party registration firm, has helped thousands of small businesses successfully register to conduct business with the United States federal government. They offer a complete suite of services covering everything from initial SAM registration to GSA registration to marketing. Their clients have included national businesses, major universities, city and state government offices, non profits and other charitable organizations.
