Find Out The One Simple Trick That Successful Federal Contractors Don't Want You To Know About

By Celeste Osborne


Although it can be very lucrative, breaking into the federal market can pose a challenge. Although thousands of new vendors register everyday to work with the federal government, many of them struggle and some ultimately fail to find success. What is it that separates the successful vendors from the failures? Their secret may be the Simplified Acquisition Program.

The Simplified Acquisition Program is based upon the government contract rulings set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Simplified Acquisition contracts are government contracts that range in size between $2,500 and $150,000. However specific industries can be awarded simplified acquisition contracts that are worth up to $6.5 million.

Simplified Acquisition contracts improve opportunities for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns to obtain a fair proportion of government contracts. While simplified acquisition contracts primarily help small businesses they can also offer large businesses another significant way of earning federal funds in government contracting.

The Simplified Acquisition Program allows businesses to network with procurement officers to ask about their available solicitations and make real person-to-person connections. This is extremely important because most government agencies will not post contracts from time to time that range from $2,500 to $25,000 to FedBizOpps (FBO) or another federal bid board. Agencies will also use SMART Pay Cards, blank purchase agreements, miscellaneous purchase agreements, and even cash on simplified acquisition contracts. Normal bids are not given this much leeway because large contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold must be reported in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Being able to bid on government contracts that are not even released yet gives a business using the Simplified Acquisition Program a much needed leg up on their competition in the federal marketplace.

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.
