Starting your journey as a government contractor or ramping up your marketing efforts can be overwhelming. It can be difficult to know where to start, but there’s may resources out there to help businesses like yours succeed.
SBA - The Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent agency of the United States government that provides support to entrepreneurs and small businesses, including socially and economically disadvantaged groups. In addition to connecting entrepreneurs with lenders and funding opportunities, the SBA offers free one-on-one counseling, a guide on how to find and win contracts, matchmaking opportunities with federal buyers, technical guidance, contracting assistance programs, and free training workshops.
SAM - It serves as a database for federal contractors, but also acts as a search portal for government contractors to find opportunities.
Federal Procurement Data System - Government contractors can use the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) for all their past contracting data research needs. FPDS is a repository of all federal contracting data for contracts more than $25,000. FPDS provides data on:
· Which agencies have contracts and with whom
· What agencies purchase
· Which contractors have contracts
USASpending.gov - Like FPDS, USASpending.gov is a database that tracks government spending through awarded contracts. Using the data from this online platform can help you determine procurement trends that may reveal new opportunities for your business.
