Simplified Acquisition Program Gives Small Businesses The Tools To Win Big Federal Contract Awards

By Celeste Osborne


US Federal Contractor Registration has further leveled the playing field for small business federal contractors through their new Simplified Acquisition Program. This cutting edge training system provides vendors with all the knowledge, tools, and support necessary to compete for federal contract awards.

The rules governing federal contracting, known as the Federal Acquisition Regulations or FAR, have set the simplified acquisition threshold between $2,500 and $150,000 for most transactions, however this may increase to up to $6.5 million depending upon the industry. Any contract valued within this threshold does not need to undergo a formal bidding process and may be subject to the "rule of 2" - where a purchasing officer need only call and obtain quotes from two eligible small businesses before awarding the contract.

The simplified procedure is much more similar to how everyday households may buy milk from the store or hire a gardener for their home. This makes it far easier for inexperienced or small firms to get their feet in the door when it comes to breaking into the federal market. These smaller projects are also perfect for any sized firm to complete, unlike the scaling problems encountered with larger, more complex contracting opportunities.

The Simplified Acquisition Program gives both large and small businesses the tools they need to succeed in the federal acquisition market. The program includes a comprehensive contracting-readiness evaluation, registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), official government profile creation for the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS), monthly email bid notification, contract support, complete government business plan with direct access to buyers and prime vendors, website creation in the standard government format, and complete training for the simplified acquisition environment.

US Federal Contractor Registration's Simplified Acquisition Program has already netted success for woman-owned small business DLP Enterprises. Since their enrollment, they have established a solid business relationship with the US Navy and have been awarded 147 contracts totaling over $1.6 million. Pairing hard work and dedication with the proper tools can help any dedicated and eligible business find success in the federal market as well.

For over five years, US Federal Contractor Registration , the world's most experienced third party registration firm, has provided System for Award Management registration services and guidance to thousands of private businesses, non-profit organizations, and state/local governments across the globe. Their new Simplified Acquisition Program has established them as industry leaders dedicated to supporting small businesses seeking to enter the federal contracting market.
