Confused about Set-Asides and Simplified Acquisition? We can help.

Do you know what the terms “set-aside” and “simplified acquisition” mean regarding government contracting? If you don’t, you’re not alone. Many of our clients see these terms in solicitations and ask us to explain better what they mean and if their company qualifies.


The more you know about the types of contracts on which you are eligible to bid or even the types of contracts where procurement officers don’t even have to post a solicitation, the better your chances of successfully winning a contract.

In collaboration with the National Black Chamber of Commerce, we’ve put everything you need to know in one place about the breakdown of the percentages and amounts of spending for bid and simplified acquisition (no-bid) programs. I also break this information down by category: Small Business, Minority, Veteran, Service Disabled Veteran, Woman, 8(a), and HUBZone.

“When it comes to government contracting, there is no better service than US Federal Contractor Registration," says National Black Chamber of Commerce Business Development and Programs Vice President Charles DeBow, who singles out John Wayne II for his help. “He has been running on a hot streak with our members and constituents for 18 months. We have never seen the level of results his clients are getting within weeks of enrolling in the US Federal Contractor Registration SAM Assistance program.”
