US Federal Contractor Registration Enrolls Businesses In The Simplified Acquisition Program In 2014

By Max Timko


US Federal Contractor Registration, the world's largest and most respected third party registration firm has helped over 65,000 businesses become registered for government contracts. Businesses must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to bidding on government contracts. However, just because a business registers in SAM does not mean the contracts will start pouring in. It is important that federally registered government vendors have an active government-marketing program to help establish their brand to government buyers across the nation.

Simplified acquisition contacts fall between $2,500.00 and $150,000.00; and commercial item purchases between $2,500.00 and $5,000,000. All contracts above this threshold have to be further documented in Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and require another level of federal scrutiny. Simplified acquisition contracts are rarely published to bid boards like FedBizOpps (FBO) because of their size and federal obligation. The Simplified Acquisition Program gives a contractor all the tools and methods needed to reach out to procurement officers and ask about their available simplified acquisition contracts.

Procurement officers can use a federally recognized credit card because simplified acquisition contracts require very little to no paperwork to justify the cost of the purchase. All large government contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold must be recorded and documented in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), which will later be reviewed in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), or at USASpending.gov. Simplified acquisition contracts and low level micro-purchases do not need to be documented or recorded in FAPIIS.

The Simplified Acquisition Program utilizes federal industry databases to help promote businesses and network with procurement officers across the nation. Simplified acquisition contracts are designed for small businesses in the federal marketplace and are very different then sealed bid government contracts. Procurement officers can even pay contractors with a SMART Pay card (credit card), a blank purchase agreement or even with cash if the contract is considered a simplified acquisition.

The Simplified Acquisition Program includes: a System for Award Management (SAM) registration, a complete government business plan with direct access to buyers and prime vendors, a customized profile in Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS), monthly email bid notifications, a GovKinex government-formatted website with federal verification seal or verified vendor status, branded domain name, and year long training. US Federal Contractor Registration is the only authorized seller of the Simplified Acquisition program.
