Your Next Government Contract Starts Here
Before agencies can buy from you, your business must be properly registered, qualified, and positioned. GSE helps you navigate the paperwork, avoid costly mistakes, and establish the credentials needed to pursue government opportunities.
Select the service that best matches your next step.
Get Government-Ready and More Competitive
Being properly registered allows government agencies to find and do business with your company. The right certifications can help distinguish your business, improve access to set-aside opportunities, and make you a stronger candidate for teaming and subcontracting.
GSE helps you identify which registrations and certifications fit your business, then guides you through the process from application to approval.
WOSB Certification
Becoming certified as a WOSB or EDWOSB is essential in leveling the playing field for your business. The federal government aims to award a minimum of 5% of all contracting budgets to Women-Owned Small Businesses annually.
VOSB/SDVOSB Certification
A VOSB/SDVOSB Certification will give you the advantage necessary to sell to government agencies and access millions of dollars of Federal Spending set aside for VOSB Certified entities.
FEMA Registration
Becoming FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Agency) Registered will connect your firm with the Government agency in order to award contracts and use your products/services to help those in need after a disaster.
HUBZone Certification
Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones) were introduced through the Empowerment Act of 1998 with the goal of increasing employment opportunities and economic development in distressed communities.
SAM Registration & Renewal
The System for Award Management (SAM) is the first step to securing contracts with the Federal Government. Once you register with the SAM, you’ll be given a CAGE code that will act as an identifier for your business.
GSA/MAS Schedule
GSA Schedule Contracts are a gateway to trillions of federal government spending. These long-term contracts provide businesses with a vehicle to sell products and services to federal, state, and local government agencies.
8(a) Program
Five percent of the $500 billion in annual government spending is awarded to disadvantaged businesses. The 8(a) Program was developed to provide socially or economically underprivileged companies an equal chance of securing federal contracts.
DBE Certification
The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Certification will give your business assistance in State, Local, and Municipal spending by offering programs that will dedicate a percentage of their spending strictly to Disadvantaged Businesses.
WBE Certification
The Women Business Enterprise Certification gives your firm access to corporations, Fortune 1000 companies, and large government agencies looking to purchase products and services, along with many more benefits.
MBE Certification
Becoming a Minority-Owned Business Enterprise will give you access to enormous State Government budgets and nationally recognized corporations that are required to purchase from Minority-Owned Businesses.
VBE/DVBE Certification
The Veteran Business Enterprise or Disabled Veteran Enterprise Certification gives your firm access to corporations, Fortune 1000 companies, and large government agencies looking to purchase products and services, along with many more benefits.
MWBE Certification
The Minority/Women Business Enterprise Certification was established to help minority-women-owned businesses compete against others within their respective industries by offering development programs in over 40 U.S. States.
Your Path to Getting Started
Every business’s path looks a little different, but most follow the same core steps to get contract-ready.
Step One
Registration
The first step to government contracting is completing your core registration. This is required for any business looking to work with federal, state, or local agencies. Registration is typically valid for one year and must be renewed before it expires.
Step 2
Getting Certified
The next step is identifying the certification that’s right for your business. The right certification can give you an edge on contracts and set-aside opportunities relevant to your industry.
Step 3
Capabilities Statement
Next, you’ll want a strong Capabilities Statement for your business. This concise document highlights your core competencies and is essential for doing business with any government agency.
Step 4
Finding Opportunities
Once you’re registered, certified, and have a strong capabilities statement, it’s time to start finding contract opportunities that fit your business. Knowing where to look and how to compile the right market research is key to finding opportunities that are actually a good fit.
Step 5
Submit Bids on Relevant Contracts
Writing a winning proposal takes time and expertise. A proposal breaks down what goods or services you’ll provide, at what cost, timeline, and quality. Our specialists can help you draft the ideal proposal to give your business the best shot at winning.
Step 6
Explore the GSA Schedule
The GSA Schedule is one of the most valuable tools for working with the government. It provides an efficient way to connect qualifying businesses to government buyers long-term. Not every business qualifies — if you think you might, let’s talk about your eligibility.
