Simplified Acquisition Program Wins Millions In Revenue For Small Business Contractors

By Celeste Osborne


Businesses across the country are turning to the Simplified Acquisition Program to win federal government contract awards. Most businesses assume all they need to do to break into the federal marketplace is file their SAM registration and wait, however this is not how federal contracting works. In order to make money through federal contracting, vendors must market their business directly to federal buyers. The best way to break into government contracting is not necessarily to try for the multi-billion dollar contracts but to seek out the smaller, everyday purchases that agencies must make. Unfortunately, unlike larger contracts these smaller purchases are usually not advertised publicly. In order to find out about these contracts, the agencies must know who you are and contact you directly for a quote.

According to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, any purchases under $150,000 are subject to simplified acquisition procedures and do not need to go through formal contract bids. There are some exceptions depending upon the product, service or industry - some purchases worth millions may also be subject to SAP rules. Very small purchases, called "micro purchases", are even easier to complete. These transactions are under $3000 and can be completed as simply as you might call up a business in the phone book to make a purchase.

It is necessary for vendors to market their business aggressively to procurement officers in order to find out about SAP contracts. Agencies complete these purchases by directly contacting vendors to receive a quote - if they don't know your business exists, they won't know to contact you! For these reasons, businesses who want to participate in SAP must develop an effective and comprehensive marketing plan.
