A new effective federal marketing program from US Federal Contractor Registration, the Simplified Acquisition Program, has revolutionized entry into the federal marketplace for small businesses and offered proven results in very little time.

The Simplified Acquisition Program is based upon the government contract policies set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Simplified Acquisition contracts are government contracts that range in size between $2,500 and $150,000. However specific industries can be awarded simplified acquisition contracts that are worth up to $6.5 million.

Simplified Acquisition contracts create additional opportunities for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns to obtain a fair proportion of government contracts. While simplified acquisition contracts primarily aid small businesses they can also offer large businesses another significant way of earning federal funds in government contracting.

Vendors in the Simplified Acquisition Program are highly encouraged to reach out and contact federal purchasing officers directly - this is in fact a key component of the program! This allows businesses to learn about upcoming contracts before they are even released, as well as make vital networking contacts. Most purchasing officers will not advertise contracts under $25,000 on FedBizOpps (FBO) so the only way 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. This is generally not allowed through the normal bidding process since larger contracts must be reported on the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

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.
