How US Federal Contractor Registration's Simplified Acquisition Program Paves Paths To Success

By Celeste Osborne


Federal contracting attracts thousands of new vendors every day, trying their hardest to win a contract and earn some much needed revenue. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of vendors will win contracts on a bid. 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.

However, larger corporations should not be discouraged from using the Simplified Acquisition Program either. The program's ease and simplicity can help open new revenue streams for businesses of any size, industry, or level of contracting experience! Even businesses who qualify for set-asides such as service-disabled veteran-owned firms or HUBZone business concerns can take advantage of the program's benefits!

Businesses in the Simplified Acquisition Program are trained to reach out and get in touch with federal purchasing officers directly - this is in fact an essential component of the program! This helps businesses to find out about upcoming contracts before they are even released, and additionally make vital networking contacts. Most purchasing officers will never advertise contracts under $25,000 on FedBizOpps (FBO) so the only method 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, which are generally not permitted through traditional purchasing vehicles.

To help small businesses profit from these opportunities, US Federal Contractor Registration has formed their Simplified Acquisition Program. This program has helped generate millions of dollars of cash flow for many struggling vendors, including Progress Solar Solutions, LLC, which has been awarded nearly $1 million in contract awards thanks to USFCR. The Simplified Acquisition Program includes everything vendors might want to start doing business with the government, including System for Award Management registration, a seven page website in the standard Federal Government format, branded domain and hosting, web site optimization, customized official government profile, monthly email bid notification and contract support.
