Federal contracting is an excellent way for businesses to open up a new stream of revenue. That's because as a customer, the federal government is one who: 

• Actively looks to work with small businesses
• Is guaranteed to have the funds to pay you
• Spends more in times of recession
• Wants to build long-term working relationships with reliable vendors

So how do you even approach working with the largest buyer of goods and services in the world? 

That's what this blog post is going to cover. 

On Monday, January 25, 2021, the White House signed an executive order to strengthen Buy American provisions, that will affect all federal contractors. 

So what does that mean for your business?

That's what we're going to answer in this blog post.

As a business owner, you know that it takes money to make money. The same applies to government contracting. On paper, all it takes is a registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and you're ready to submit bids. In reality, it's a lot more complex than that.

The results are in. The Small Business Administration (SBA) released its FY2019 Small Business Procurement Scorecard. This scorecard serves as an annual report showing if federal agencies met their small business contracting requirements. Although things are looking dismal in the commercial sector, the federal sector is still going strong on small business spending. 

Being able to market your products and services effectively can make all the difference in your government contracting venture. That's why US Federal Contractor Registration provides every business enrolled in the Simplified Acquisition Program with an online capabilities statement.
