Memorandum for: Businesses entering the federal market
Subject: Contract awards, not just registrations
The government awards $700+ billion in contracts every year, and a legally mandated share is reserved for small businesses. Contracting Authority helps you claim yours — from first registration through certification, capture, proposal, and award.
SAM.gov registration done right the first time — NAICS strategy, UEI/CAGE, DIBBS setup, and Dynamic Small Business Search profiles that contracting officers can actually find.
SDVOSB, 8(a), WOSB, and HUBZone — determining what you qualify for, preparing the application package, and building a strategy around the certifications you hold.
Targeted buying-office research, procurement forecast analysis, sources sought responses, and a bid/no-bid discipline that stops you from chasing contracts you can’t win.
The one-page document that opens federal doors — written to what small business specialists and contracting officers look for, not what marketing templates suggest.
Compliance matrices, Section L/M analysis, proposal review, and pricing sanity checks — so your submission is scored, not rejected.
Limitations on subcontracting, teaming agreement structure, and staying eligible — protecting the contract after you win it.
Plenty of consultants teach federal contracting from a slide deck. We operate in the market we advise on — registering entities, pursuing set-aside solicitations, responding to sources sought notices, and performing on awards. When we recommend a strategy, it's because we've run it with our own money on the line.
A readiness review of your registrations, certifications, NAICS positioning, and past performance — ending in an honest verdict on where you can win.
Certifications filed, capability statement built, target buying offices identified, and your firm placed in front of the people who buy what you sell.
Sources sought responses, bid/no-bid decisions, and proposal support on live opportunities — with compliance guardrails from day one.
Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses can receive contracts up to $4.5M ($7M for manufacturing) without full competition. Here's how the authority works and how to position for it.
The sequence that takes a new firm from zero federal presence to a realistic first award — registration, codes, targeting, and the bids actually worth chasing.
Sections L and M decide who wins before a single proposal is scored. How to dissect a solicitation, build a compliance matrix, and know when to walk away.
A 30-minute call: we look at your registrations, certifications, and target market, and tell you plainly what stands between your firm and its first — or next — federal award.
