Your starting point: Brand new to government contractingChange
The Beginner's Path

Everyone starts here. Here's the whole road.

Government contracting has a reputation for being complicated. It is really a sequence. You are at the start of it, and that is a good place to be.

Win & Scale

Market intelligence comes much later on the road. You do not need it yet.

The road, one step at a time

Four steps, in order. Each one makes the next one easier.

1

Get registered

SAM.gov is the government's directory of approved vendors. Until your business is in it, no agency can pay you. This is the front door.

2

Set your foundation

Your codes tell buyers what you sell. Your profile tells them who you are. Get these right and searches start finding you.

3

Build your assets

A capability statement is your one-page federal resume. Buyers expect it. A briefing deck and a credible website back it up.

4

Go to market

Now you look for opportunities, meet buyers, and respond to solicitations. This is where the work turns into revenue.

Our advisors' recommendation

“You're at step one. Don't touch market research yet. Get registered right, first. The rest of the road will still be there when you arrive.”
