Step In, Shine Bright, Succeed Big – Your Edge in Government Contracting

You don’t need to be the biggest name in the game to win government contracts—you just need the right start, the right support, and the right strategy.

Federal contracting may look intimidating, but the truth is: there’s never been a better time for small businesses to step in and win big. With initiatives like Buy American, Hire American creating new opportunities and more set-aside contracts for small businesses, now is your moment to shine.

Why This Topic Matters

Many small businesses hesitate to enter the federal space because of myths: it’s too complicated, too competitive, or only for large firms. This blog shatters those misconceptions by showing how accessible and rewarding government contracting can be—especially for small, certified businesses.

Your First Steps to Getting Started in Government Contracting

Every successful journey begins with a roadmap. Here are the foundational steps you need to take:

• Register at SAM.gov
  Create a Login.gov account and obtain your UEI (Unique Entity Identifier).



• Identify Your NAICS Codes
  NAICS codes classify your products/services. Use USAspending.gov to see which ones are actively awarded.



• Complete Your DSBS Profile
  This searchable SBA database helps contracting officers find qualified vendors. Make your profile keyword-rich and performance-driven.



• Get Certified
  Leverage small business certifications such as WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or 8(a) via certify.sba.gov. These can unlock exclusive opportunities.



• Find Opportunities That Fit
  Use tools like SAM.gov and FPDS.gov to discover current solicitations aligned with your capabilities.

Why Small Businesses Have an Edge

Federal agencies are under increased pressure to diversify their supplier base. That means:

• More set-aside contracts exclusively for small businesses
  
  
• Higher award goals for certified vendors (WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB)
  


• Growing demand for niche services and agile providers
  
  
• Policy push to source locally through “Buy American, Hire American”
