How to Get Started in Government Contracting
Getting started in government contracting can seem daunting, but it’s a lucrative opportunity for businesses looking to expand their market. The first step is understanding the basics of government contracts, which typically involves researching the types of contracts available, such as fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, and indefinite-delivery contracts. Businesses should also familiarize themselves with key government agencies and their procurement processes. Registering your business in the System for Award Management (SAM) is a crucial step, as it is required for all entities wishing to do business with the federal government.
