A step-by-step guide to winning your first government contracts, from SAM.gov and set-asides to capture and proposals.
Register in SAM.gov, focus on a few agencies, use small business set-asides, build past performance through subcontracts and smaller awards, and submit compliant proposals. Free help is available from APEX Accelerators.
CMMC applies to defense contractors handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. FedRAMP authorizes cloud services used by federal agencies.
