What the essentials cover

Before you can win federal work, a handful of things have to be in place and correct. Here is what we set up.

SAM.gov registration

Your entity registration filed and active, the requirement behind everything else.

NAICS and PSC codes

The right industry codes chosen so buyers find you for the work you actually do.

Size and certifications

Your small business size status confirmed and any set-aside programs you qualify for.

Capability basics

A starting capability statement so you have something to send to buyers from day one.

DSBS profile

A searchable profile so contracting officers can find you once you are registered.

A clear next step

A specialist who tells you what to do first and what can wait, in plain terms.
