Core-2 · SAM & SBA Profile Optimization
In 30 days, federal buyers can find you
Right now, contracting officers are searching for exactly what you sell, and finding your competitors. Core-2 rebuilds the two profiles every buyer checks first—SAM.gov and your SBA profile—so those searches return your firm.

Where you stand on day 30
From invisible to in the consideration set
Most firms in SAM are technically registered and practically invisible: wrong codes, thin narrative, no keywords. Day 30 of Core-2 is the opposite. A buyer runs the search, your firm appears, and the record answers their first questions before they ever pick up the phone.
You are findable. Codes and keywords aligned to how buying offices actually search, not how your industry talks.
You are credible on paper. A professional capabilities narrative on the profile buyers cross-reference before they call.
You have a map. A one-hour strategy session with a former senior procurement official on what to do next.
Every deliverable, in detail
What you walk away with
No mystery boxes. This is the complete list, and what each piece does for you.
SAM.gov Registration
New or rebuiltIf you have a registration, we rebuild and optimize it: entity data verified, representations clean, profile complete. If you do not, we set it up right the first time and steer it through activation.
What changes for you
Your record reads clean to a buyer running a look-up. Eligible, compliant, and nothing that makes you look like a gamble.
SBA Small Business Search Profile
Formerly DSBSYour Small Business Search profile rewritten with professional positioning: a capabilities narrative that mirrors solicitation language, complete data fields, and consistency with SAM. Buyers cross-reference both.
What changes for you
The profile contracting officers use for market research finally says what you do, in the words they search with.
NAICS & PSC Code Alignment
StrategyWe pull recent awards in your space and choose codes from the contracts you should be winning, not the labels your industry uses. Primary and secondary codes, both profiles, consistent.
What changes for you
You appear in the searches that lead to set-asides. This one fix is where most stuck contractors turn around.
Buyer-Side Keyword Optimization
Both profilesThe search terms buying offices actually type, embedded across your SAM and Small Business Search profiles: capability keywords, certifications, and geographic tags.
What changes for you
Discoverability that compounds. Every asset you add later builds on a foundation that is already being found.
Recollections from the buying side“In my federal buying days, an incomplete profile never read as new to me. It read as risky. I passed over hundreds of capable firms because their record made them look like a gamble.”

Before you ask
How is the final price set?
No two foundations arrive in the same shape. Some firms need keywords and a sharper narrative. Others are locked out of SAM entirely with nothing in the SBA Small Business Search. We run your foundation analysis first, you see your scorecard, and the final price is set before work begins. No surprises.
Do I need an existing SAM.gov registration?
No. Core-2 covers new registrations as well as rebuilds. If you are starting from zero, we set it up right the first time.
How fast will the changes show up?
We deliver within 30 days. SAM and SBA updates propagate on government timelines, typically 24–48 hours after submission. If they stall past five business days, we chase the Federal Service Desk for you.
Is Core-2 enough to win contracts?
It is the foundation, not the finish line. It makes you findable and credible in searches. When buyers start looking, Core-3 gives them the assets they ask for next.
Need more than the foundation?
Just the foundation

Notes from the buying side
From the blog
What breaks when you build your own federal foundation
You can complete every registration yourself. Almost nobody completes them well, and the damage stays quiet for about a year before it shows up as silence.
An expired SAM registration fails quietly, then all at once
Renewal is free, takes an afternoon of attention, and protects every dollar the government owes you. Most firms treat it like a subscription auto-renewal. It is not one.
How buyers actually search SAM
Keyword habits, saved searches, and the fields agencies filter on. Written by people who ran those searches for a living.
Thirty days from now, buyers can find you
