Federal Contractors Find Success With Usfcr's Simplified Acquisition Program



The Simplified Acquisition Program has become many vendors' secret weapon when it comes to scoring work from the federal government. While most contractors simply file their SAM registration and wait for Uncle Sam to call with a billion dollar contract, the smart successful businesses market their business to purchasing officers and aim for the smaller everyday purchases the government makes every day. What most businesses don't know is that many contracts under the threshold are never publicly advertised; instead federal agencies call a vendor or two directly for a quote and buy the product or service they need on the spot.

Federal Acquisition Regulations set the simplified acquisition threshold at $150,000, although this may vary depending upon the type of product or service being purchased or its application. Purchases meeting the criteria for SAP do not need to go through a formal bidding procedure. Purchases under $3000, commonly called "micro purchases," can even be completed as informally as you might call in for pizza. Don't make the mistake of assuming these are all going to be insignificant purchases; depending upon the industry, SAP may be applied to purchases totaling millions of dollars.

Unlike traditional contracts advertised on FedBizOpps, SAP contracts are generally not listed on any public websites. These types of purchases are only made through relationships being made with federal agencies. To do this, vendors must market their business to procurement officers. This is the only way for purchasing officers to know about the business and seek them out for a quote when they need to make a purchase.

US Federal Contractor Registration has helped thousands of businesses earn millions of dollars in revenue through their Simplified Acquisition Program.
