The One Simple Trick That Successful Federal Contractors Don't Want You To Know About

By Celeste Osborne


There are many lesser known tips and secrets to succeeding in federal contracting that many new vendors simply don't know about. One of the biggest secrets with the biggest potential profit potential is the Simplified Acquisition Program. Even some veteran contractors don't know about this easy way to break into the federal market and start making money!

The Simplified Acquisition Program is based upon the government contract rulings 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 help all kinds of businesses in the federal market: small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, and large firms all gain advantages through these kinds of contracts.

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).
