Background
"Starting with my SAM registration, it took me three months to win my first award."
- Craig Williams | President of CW
Veteran and business owner Craig Williams wanted to get his company, CW Financial & Management Group, LLC (CW), into the federal marketplace.
This is because every year, the U.S. government must spend 3% (≈$15 billion) of its contracting budget on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB).
He also saw several opportunities that were recently awarded that fit his company's capabilities. However, there were several obstacles in the way.
First, CW needed to get registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Then, the business had to get certified as an SDVOSB.
To become competitive in the federal marketplace, Craig also needed to be trained on how to conduct business with the government.
Solution
"For a small business like mine, USFCR was able to provide me with the support I needed. They are always accessible and dependable."
- Craig Williams | President of CW
To get started in federal contracting, CW enlisted the help of US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR).
USFCR provides government registration assistance and training to government contractors.
First, USFCR Case Management assisted with CW's SAM registration. CW could comply with government contracting regulations faster and without errors or delays by outsourcing this process.
They also received a USFCR Verified Vendor seal to display for contracting officers and prime contractors to show USFCR is managing their registration.
The next step was getting CW certified as an SDVOSB.
This process was similar to getting CW registered in SAM. With CW's submitted information for their SAM registration assistance, USFCR Special Services could qualify and get CW certified as an SDVOSB.
Finally, CW enrolled in the USFCR Learning Center, which offers a variety of resources for contractors of all levels in the federal marketplace.
With access to an educational content library, Craig learned about the federal marketplace from the ground up.
Outcome
Using USFCR's services, CW had a compliant SAM registration and became SDVOSB certified.
Through the USFCR Academy, Craig Williams learned the best business practices for working with the federal government.
CW won its first federal contract within three months of getting registered in SAM.
The contract was with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). With this success, CW kept placing bids with the VA, winning seven federal contracts in under one year.
