The federal government encourages small businesses to take on contracting opportunities. The process to register as a federal contractor is more straight-forward than most people think. Given the U.S. government is the world’s largest customer, it buys all types of products and services and is required by law to provide the majority of it's contracting opportunities to the small businesses, FIRST.
There are two broad categories of government contractors:
*Prime contractors bid on and win contracts directly from government agencies
*Subcontractors join prime contractor teams, usually to provide a specific capability or product
For your small business to serve as a prime contractor or subcontractor, you’ll need to legally qualify as a small business and register as a government contractor. Then you can start looking for both prime or subcontracting opportunities with the federal government. The federal government is very particular about how it purchases products and services. It aims to make sure that competition is fair and open, prices are competitive, it gets what it pays for, and all laws are followed.
Keep in mind, most individual organizations often have their own rules but they don't take away from The Federal Acquisition Regulation, they can only add to it. The federal government also tries to award a significant percentage of all federal government contracting dollars to small businesses. In addition, the federal government must award to a certain percentage to businesses in the following categories:
*Women-owned small businesses
*Small disadvantaged business
*Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses
*HUB-Zone program participants
While the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development program helps eligible socially and economically disadvantaged individuals grow their businesses through one-on-one counseling, training workshops, matchmaking opportunities with federal buyers, and other management and technical guidance.
