How do NAICS codes impact business loans and grants?

Posted on by Noah King

NAICS Codes and the Impact on Business Loans and Grants

Every company that is looking to bid, win, or obtain federal contracts or grants MUST be registered in the System for Award Management. One of the requirements when doing the registration is filling in what your entity’s primary NAICS code is. The NAICS code is essential for prime contracts so the can easily identify the type of service your business provides. In addition, certain contracts/grants will only be awarded to companies that have a specific NAICS Code.

USBRI has assisted small businesses with SAM and Small Business Certifications since 2011. A dedicated CRS will be assigned to your company to facilitate the renewal or registration process for  you. If you have additional questions, call the help desk or submit the form down below.

If you are unsure of what your NAICS codes in SAM are or you need to find and update them, use the tools by clicking either button below.

What is US Federal Contracting?

Posted on by Johnna Geiger

U.S. Federal Contracting

U.S. federal contracting is the process by which the government acquires goods, services, and construction projects from private companies. Key aspects include:

  1. Regulatory Framework: Governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
  2. Contract Types: Includes fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, and time-and-materials contracts.
  3. Acquisition Process: Involves market research, solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration.
  4. Competition Requirements: Promotes fair competition, with exceptions for sole-source contracts.
  5. Small Business Set-Asides: Programs to encourage small business participation.
  6. Contract Compliance and Oversight: Ensures contractors meet obligations through monitoring and audits.
  7. Contracting Agencies: Agencies like the DoD, GSA, and VA manage their own procurement.
  8. E-Procurement: Uses portals like SAM for efficiency and transparency.

Federal contracting ensures government procurement is fair, transparent, and provides value to taxpayers. It is a great way for businesses to get more work and take advantage of inclusive government programs. Start the process of becoming a Government Contractor by completing your SAM Registration with USBRI.

What is a small business certification, and why is it important?

Posted on by Noah King

A small business certification is an extra step that can be taken to ensure you are getting the most out of your federal contracting and grant registration. If you have successfully registered in SAM, you may qualify for a Small Business Certification.  The SBA sets “size standards” for businesses that can be considered for small business certifications,

A small business certification can be extremely beneficial to your company, especially if you are looking to take on more business as a federal contractor. Being registered in the small business database will ensure that prime contractors can find you based on your NAICS Code and/or other factors, narrowing down the pool of competition significantly.

If you are unsure if you qualify as a small business according to SBA, use the Small Business Calculator Tool by clicking the button below. Additionally, if you are unsure if you have a SAM Registration, use the SAM Status Lookup Tool by clicking the other button below.

What qualifications and certifications are required for federal contracting?

Posted on by Noah King

The main qualification for federal contracting would be to have an active and compliant SAM Registration. There are some contracts that require you to have a certification (such as WOSB, VOSB, or HUBZone). The contract description will tell you the requirements if you are unsure. Getting certified as a Woman-Owned, Veteran-Owned, or HUBZone Small Business puts you into a much smaller pool of candidates able to bid on and win federal contracting opportunities.

If you are unsure if you qualify for a Small Business Certification, click the button below. Additionally, if you need to check the status of a SAM Registration, us the SAM Status Lookup Tool by clicking the other button.
