Federal Contracting Registration Renewal

Posted on by Noah King

Keeping a SAM Registration active and compliant is essential when doing business with the federal government. You want to ensure that your SAM Registration status remains active so your contracts remain active and compliant and you do not miss payments. Additionally, if you qualify as a Small Business and have your DSBS/SBA Profiles completed as well as set-aside certifications, an expired SAM Registration will nullify those certifications until the SAM becomes active again.

USBRI has been offering assistance with Federal Registrations (SAM) and Federal Certifications since 2011. With over 12 years in the industry, a CRS will be able to assist you with any questions or help you may need. Reach out to the USBRI Help Desk at 1-888-646-9998.

Essential Federal Set-Asides for Small Businesses

Essential Federal Set-Asides for Small Businesses

Federal contracting presents an incredible opportunity for small businesses to grow by providing goods and services to the U.S. government. To ensure fair competition, the government sets aside specific contracts exclusively for small businesses. Here are the most essential federal set-aside programs:

1. HUBZone Program

The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) program boosts economic development in underprivileged areas. Businesses located in a HUBZone and meeting specific criteria can qualify for exclusive contracts and a 10% price evaluation preference in competitive bids.

2. Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Program

Designed to support women entrepreneurs, the WOSB program reserves contracts in industries where women are underrepresented. Certain contracts are further restricted to Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs).

3. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Program

This program provides contracting opportunities for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. It helps veterans transition their leadership skills into thriving businesses.

4. 8(a) Business Development Program

The 8(a) program supports socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs through training, mentorship, and set-aside contracts. This is an excellent pathway for small businesses aiming for long-term growth.

USBRI has been assisting companies with federal registrations and certifications for over 13 years. A dedicated CRS (Certified Registration Specialist) would be assigned to your company, working directly with you to ensure your company is active and compliant. Additionally, they will keep up-to-date and inform you if your company meets requirements for additional certifications and opportunities.

If you’d like to find out if you qualify as a Small Business according to the SBA Size Standards, use the tool by clicking “Small Business Calculator Tool” below. Additionally, a SAM Registration is required to participate in Federal Contracting. Use the SAM Search Tool to find out if you have a registration or if the one you have has expired.

What is the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE)?

Posted on by Noah King

What is PIEE and Why is it Important for Military Contractors?

When working on federal contracts, especially with the military, understanding the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) is essential. PIEE is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) primary platform for managing electronic procurement and contracting processes. It streamlines how contractors and government agencies interact, making tasks like invoicing, contract management, and compliance more efficient. A key part of using PIEE is having a valid CAGE Code and SAM Registration.

Why is PIEE important?

PIEE centralizes and simplifies many contracting activities, ensuring smoother communication and processing between contractors and the military. Its key features include:

  • Invoicing tools: Submit payment requests and track invoices through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
  • Contract management: Access contract details, monitor performance, and handle modifications.
  • Electronic workflows: Streamline approvals and signatures for faster contract execution.
  • Data security: Ensure sensitive government and contractor data is protected.

For military contractors, PIEE is not just a convenience—it’s a requirement. To use PIEE effectively, contractors must register their business, link their CAGE Code, and maintain up-to-date information in SAM. With its robust tools, PIEE ensures compliance, faster payments, and better collaboration with the DoD, making it a critical resource for successful federal contracting.

As stated above, the SAM Registration is one of many requirements for a company to participate in the Department of Defense’s PIEE. USBRI has been assisting companies since 2011 with Federal Registrations and Certifications. Reach out to the USBRI Help Desk at 1-888-646-9998 with questions on getting started on your registration or renewal.

What is the difference between state and federal certifications?

Posted on by Noah King

The difference between state and federal certifications is that the state certification (more commonly known as the SBE Certification) is given out by state and local government. Federal Certifications (such as WOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, and 8(a) Minority Owned) are specifically those who plan to do business with the federal government.

The federal government allocates 23% of contracting dollars to those who are a Small Business according to the SBA’s Size Standards. Additionally, those companies that qualify for Set-Aside Certifications will have the opportunity to be award no-bid contracts.

What is Federal Contracting?

Posted on by Noah King

What is Federal Contracting?

Federal contracting is the process by which the U.S. government procures goods and services from private businesses to fulfill its needs. These contracts can range from providing essential items like office supplies and medical equipment to delivering complex services such as construction, IT solutions, and defense systems. Essentially, when the government needs something it can’t produce in-house, it turns to businesses through federal contracts to get the job done.

For businesses, federal contracting offers a chance to work with one of the world’s largest buyers. The government’s annual spending creates opportunities for companies of all sizes, particularly those eligible for small business set-asides like HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, and 8(a) programs. These contracts are not only about profit—they’re also about contributing to public services, national security, and infrastructure that directly benefit American citizens.

USBRI has been helping businesses of all structure types to register for Federal Registrations and Certifications since 2011. Contact the USBRI Help Desk by calling 1-888-646-9998 and a live CRS will be able to assist you and tell you more.
