New Simplified Acquisition Program Can Help You Win Federal Contracts Today

By Celeste Osborne


Even though it can be remarkably beneficial, breaking into the federal market is not easy. Despite a large number of new vendors registering every day to sell their products and services to the federal government, the majority of them struggle and several ultimately never reach success. So what is the difference between the successful vendors and the failures? The secret is the strategy utilized by the Simplified Acquisition Program.

Federal Acquisition Regulations has defined Simplified Acquisitions as any solicitation between $2,500 and $150,000 and designated specific rules and procedures for these contracts. The procedure is more similar to how you might order a pizza rather than the formal bidding process used for larger contracts. US Federal Contractor Registration has launched their Simplified Acquisition Program to take advantage of these simplified rules and give new, inexperienced contractors an edge over their competition.

Simplified Acquisition contracts aren't exclusively a boon to small ventures - they can also help large corporations and experienced vendors generate significant revenue through contract awards. Simplified Acquisition contracts also help set-asides improve their prospects in the federal marketplace, including disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns.

Contractors in the Simplified Acquisition Program are highly encouraged to find and phone federal procurement officers directly - this is in fact a vital part of the program! This assists businesses in learning about upcoming contracts before they are even released, in addition make vital networking contacts. Most purchasing officers won't advertise contracts under $25,000 on FedBizOpps (FBO) so the only way to learn about these opportunities is to develop a relationship with that particular buyer. Payment options for these types of contracts also vary, ranging from SMART Pay Cards to even cash. Blank purchase agreements and miscellaneous purchase agreements are also used in simplified acquisition contracts. This is generally not permitted within the normal contracting process since larger contracts must be reported on the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

US Federal Contractor Registration has helped generate millions of dollars in additional revenue for small businesses, thanks to their new Simplified Acquisition Program. Participants like ECSI International, which has been awarded over $1.4 million since joining the program, gain everything they need to find success in federal contracting today, including System for Award Management registration, a seven page website in the standard Federal Government format, branded domain and hosting, web optimization, customized official government profile, monthly email bid notification and contract support.

US Federal Contractor Registration, the world's largest third party registration firm, helped thousands of local businesses successfully register to conduct business with the United States federal government. They offer a complete suite of services covering everything from initial SAM registration to GSA registration to marketing. Their clients have included national businesses, major universities, city and state government offices, non profits and other charitable organizations.
