Federal Contractors Find Success With Usfcr's Simplified Acquisition Program

By Celeste Osborne


The Simplified Acquisition Program has become many companys' secret weapon when it comes to scoring work from the federal government. While most contractors simply file their SAM registration and wait for Uncle Sam to call with a billion dollar contract, the smart successful businesses market their business to purchasing officers and aim for the smaller everyday purchases the government makes every day. What most businesses don't know is that many contracts under the threshold are never publicly advertised; instead federal agencies call a vendor or two directly for a quote and buy the product or service they need on the spot.

Unlike traditional, formal bidding contracts, purchases under the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000 can be purchased as easily as you might buy milk from the store. Depending upon the industry, simplified acquisition procedures may even be applied to purchases millions of dollars in value. Of particular interest are "micro purchases", worth $3000 or less. Such purchases are generally made on the spot with a credit card and require no bidding whatsoever.

It is necessary for vendors to market their business aggressively to procurement officers in order to find out about SAP contracts. Agencies complete these purchases by directly contacting vendors to receive a quote - if they don't know your business exists, they won't know to contact you! For these reasons, businesses who want to participate in SAP must develop an effective and comprehensive marketing plan.

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.
