Steps we take to help you win contracts:
1. Register your business with the System for Award Management (SAM).
2. Acquire a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. NAICS codes are a requirement for all businesses by the government and are used to categorize businesses, the industry they are a part of, as well as their financial records, tax obligations, and financial data.
- Verify your EIN. The Government mandates the possession of Employee Identification Numbers (EIN) by businesses that receive federal contracts. Free Federal Tax ID Numbers are available from the International Revenue Service.
- Get Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. Every business receives a CAGE Code, a 5-digit code used to identify your company.
3. Apply for your certification!
