US Federal Contractor Registration Launches The Simplified Acquisition Program

By Celeste Osborne


A new effective federal marketing program from US Federal Contractor Registration, the Simplified Acquisition Program, has revolutionized entry into the federal marketplace for small businesses and offered proven results in very little time.

Simplified Acquisition rules, mandated by the Federal Acquisition Regulations, are the basis for the Simplified Acquisition Program. These rules define Simplified Acquisitions as having a value between $2,500 and $150,000. In some industries, however, these rules may apply to contracts as high as $6.5 million.

Simplified Acquisition contracts open up new opportunities for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns to obtain a fair proportion of government contracts. While simplified acquisition contracts primarily assist small businesses they can also offer large businesses another significant way of earning federal funds in government contracting.

The Simplified Acquisition Program allows businesses to build relationships with procurement officers to ask about their available solicitations and make real person-to-person connections. This is extremely important because most government agencies will not post contracts from time to time that range from $2,500 to $25,000 to FedBizOpps (FBO) or another federal bid board. Agencies will also use SMART Pay Cards, blank purchase agreements, miscellaneous purchase agreements, and even cash on simplified acquisition contracts. Normal bids are not given this much leeway because large contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold must be reported in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Being able to bid on government contracts that are not even released yet gives a business using the Simplified Acquisition Program a much needed leg up on their competition in the federal marketplace.

The US Federal Contractor Registration Simplified Acquisition Program is an innovative introduction for small businesses into the lucrative world of federal contracting. The program helps businesses complete all the paperwork and red tape necessary to get started as well as lay a foundation of best practices and marketing strategies that will help the vendor find success. The program has already helped earn millions of dollars in contract awards for past clients such as Mac Made Easy, Creative Tent International, Excel Concrete, Suburban Surgical Co., Inc, and Nancys I.T. Guy.

US Federal Contractor Registration, the world's largest third party registration firm, has helped thousands of small businesses successfully register to conduct business with the United States federal government. They offer a complete suite of services covering everything from initial SAM registration to GSA registration to marketing. Their clients have included national businesses, major universities, city and state government offices, non profits and other charitable organizations.
