The One Simple Trick That Successful Federal Contractors Don't Want You To Know About

By Celeste Osborne


There are many lesser known tips and secrets to succeeding in federal contracting that many new vendors simply don't know about. One of the biggest secrets with the biggest potential profit potential is the Simplified Acquisition Program. Even some veteran contractors don't know about this easy way to break into the federal market and start making money!

Federal Acquisition Regulations mandate that Simplified Acquisition rules apply to contracts between $2,500 and $150,000 in size, although some industries may allow such rules for contracts as high as $6.5 million. The Simplified Acquisition Program is based upon these contracting regulations.

Simplified Acquisition contracts improve 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 help 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.
