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.
Before taking any other steps, businesses need to look inward and determine whether they are ready for federal contracting. It is also helpful to research the federal government's need for the products and services the business produces. There are many online resources to help accomplish this, including the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), FebBizOpps (FBO), USASpending.gov, and Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS).
Next, you will need to complete the paperwork necessary to register as a federal contractor. Yes, this will include getting a DUNS number and submitting your System for Award Manangement, or SAM registration. However, there are also optional registrations you shouldn't neglect just because they're not required. If your business is a small business according to the SBA, it would be wise to complete your DSBS profile. If you qualify for set asides or want to do business with particular agencies, you will likely need to complete additional registrations for these as well.
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.
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.
