Federal Contractors Find Success With Usfcr's Simplified Acquisition Program

By Celeste Osborne


Breaking into the federal marketplace can seem daunting for new contractors. Fortunately, there is a "simple" way to start earning money from federal contracts. US Federal Contractor Registration's Simplified Acquisition Program helps to take much of the guesswork and trial and error out of the process. While most vendors think all they need to do is register in the System for Award Management and the contracts will come rolling in, finding success in federal contracting requires far more work. Successful small businesses market their business directly to contracting officers and find out about the small purchases that agencies make every day.

Federal Acquisition Regulations set the simplified acquisition threshold at $150,000, although this may vary depending upon the type of product or service being purchased or its application. Purchases meeting the criteria for SAP do not need to go through a formal bidding procedure. Purchases under $3000, commonly called "micro purchases," can even be completed as informally as you might call in for pizza. Don't make the mistake of assuming these are all going to be insignificant purchases; depending upon the industry, SAP may be applied to purchases totaling millions of dollars.

The most important quality of SAP however is that these kinds of contracts are generally not advertised or listed publicly. The only way to find out about them is to develop a relationship with purchasing officers. This can be accomplished through an aggressive marketing program. By reaching out to procurement officers and explaining their company's capabilities, businesses can make sure they are considered when agencies contact small businesses looking for quotes.

To help small businesses take advantage of these opportunities, US Federal Contractor Registration has developed their Simplified Acquisition Program. This program has helped generate millions of dollars of revenue for many struggling vendors, including Mac Made Easy, Creative Tent International, Excel Concrete, Suburban Surgical Co., Inc, and Nancys I.T. Guy. The Simplified Acquisition Program includes everything vendors need to start doing business with the federal government, including System for Award Management registration, a seven page website in the standard Federal Government format, branded domain name and hosting, search engine optimization, customized official government profile, monthly email bid notification and contract support.

To get started with the Simplified Acquisition Program, call US Federal Contractor Registration's Contractor Hotline today. A live Acquisition Specialist can also provide information on becoming a Verified Vendor and other registration programs your business may qualify for, such as HUBZone or Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) registration.

US Federal Contractor Registration provides registration services and access to the Simplified Acquisition Program. The Simplified Acquisition Program was designed around the government contract rulings as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Simplified Acquisition contracts are government contracts that range in size between $2,500 and $150,000.
