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 most important step is the first one; 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). Firms that skip this important first step often find either little demand for their product or service or even worse - that they cannot meet the demand, thus ruining their reputation with federal buyers.

Next, the business should register in all appropriate federal databases. While you may already know about required registrations such as the System for Award Management, or SAM, this is not the only place your business needs to register. Before you even start your SAM registration, you'll need to obtain a DUNS number - this is required to even complete SAM registration. If your business is considered small according to SBA standards, you will also want to include your information in the Dynamic Small Business Search, or DSBS. Depending upon what set asides you may qualify for, what industry you're in and which agencies you'll be targeting, you may need to register on several other websites as well.

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.

In order to help small businesses take advantage of these strategies, US Federal Contractor Registration has introduced their 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. 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 provides business owners with all of the necessary materials to start winning these available simplified acquisition contracts. With the government spending over $400 billion every year, there are countless government contracts that can be won utilizing a US Federal Contractor Registration Simplified Acquisition Program.
