Simplified Acquisition Program Wins Millions In Revenue For Small Business Contractors

By Celeste Osborne


Breaking into the federal marketplace can seem daunting for new contractors. Fortunately, there is a "simple" way to start earning money from federal contracts. US Federal Contractor Registration's Simplified Acquisition Program helps to take much of the guesswork and trial and error out of the process. While most vendors think all they need to do is register in the System for Award Management and the contracts will come rolling in, finding success in federal contracting requires far more work. Successful small businesses market their business directly to contracting officers and find out about the small purchases that agencies make every day.

According to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, any purchases under $150,000 are subject to simplified acquisition procedures and do not need to go through formal contract bids. There are some exceptions depending upon the product, service or industry - some purchases worth millions may also be subject to SAP rules. Very small purchases, called "micro purchases", are even easier to complete. These transactions are under $3000 and can be completed as simply as you might call up a business in the phone book to make a purchase.

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.

US Federal Contractor Registration has helped thousands of businesses earn millions of dollars in revenue through their Simplified Acquisition Program. Many of their clients have found success through the program, including Mac Made Easy, Creative Tent International, Excel Concrete, Suburban Surgical Co., Inc, and Nancys I.T. Guy. Included in the Simplified Acquisition Program is everything contractors need to start making money in the federal marketplace, such as 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.
