To be a federal contractor means to be hired by the federal government to take on work or a task. The federal government, via SAM or GSA, can seek out individuals and/or their companies to perform a job for them. In order to become a federal contractor, you MUST be registered in SAM.gov as that is the portal that they track where money goes, to who, and for what.
