Step 1 — Federal Contractor

Get Approved to Do Business With the U.S. Government

SAM.gov registration, active status, and a bid-ready profile come first — before WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), or MBE certifications.

Register & Stay Active

Become a Federal Contractor the Right Way

We help you register in SAM.gov, maintain compliance, and build a presence contracting officers and primes can find.

Contracting Foundation

Do Business With the Federal Government — Not Just Collect Paperwork

Capability statements, NAICS alignment, and past-performance narrative that match how agencies actually buy.

Supply Chain & Services

Position Your Firm for Real Federal Opportunities

From logistics to professional services — we focus on getting you contract-ready with the U.S. government.

Optional — WOSB

Already Registered? WOSB Can Expand Set-Asides

Women-owned certification is a growth lever after your federal contractor foundation is solid — not a substitute for it.

Optional — SDVOSB

Veteran-Owned? Add SDVOSB After You Are Contract-Ready

SDVOSB advisory when you are registered to compete — we are consultants, not a certifying agency.

Veteran-Owned Firms

Federal Contracts First. Specialty Certs Second.

Win work with agencies and primes, then layer SDVOSB or other set-aside credentials when they fit your strategy.

Certifications (When You Are Ready)

8(a), MBE, WOSB, HUBZone — After Contractor Approval

We help you decide if and when specialty certifications make sense — never before SAM.gov and federal readiness.

Your Roadmap

Contractor First. Certifications Second.

Free assessment maps SAM.gov and federal contracting steps — then optional WOSB, SDVOSB, and other cert paths.
