One of the most precious 10 minutes on UA-cam that I spent, thank you.
Thanks! I'm happy you found it helpful!
Agreed, you’re the best!!
Is an LLC a must to register with Sam? Or can i register with my physical address without owning an LLC? Thanks
@@SM999you can register as a sole proprietor
I love the fact that you're not flaunting your wealth or giving a lot of fluff, then charging people 1000s of dollars for information after watching for an hour. I mean honestly people are looking for ways to make money not spend it.. I'm subscribed..... Blessings to You
Exactly Everyone want as much 4000.00
I’ve seen masterminds going for $10,000 in this space…
Heard of mentorships up to 50k, a darn shame. Would never pay
Thank for saying that because it’s the God’s honest truth. It’s ridiculous the outrageous packages people are charging for this program.

No BS! Straight to the point, high-quality content, unlike other popular GovCon coaches 👏
Finding your Chanel has been like finding a gold mine full of gold! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your excellent advice. As a former supply fed with a government credit card, and having worked at a site where there were no government supply stores, I can confirm that (1) all of our acquisition was micro purchases, and (2) local businesses were positioned well to sell office and medical supplies to us, especially if we were in a rush and needed stuff the same day. Otherwise we faced at least a 1 day wait from businesses that had regional distribution. A local vendor would have done well to visit us in the supply and medical departments, inform us she could supply us at the last minute (even offer delivery) and leave us a catalog/business card/website. None ever did though in my 14 years in this big city. Also, although SAM registration is not required of vendors accepting micro purchases, if a vendor was registered and also left me a print out of her business in SAM, she would have been outstanding with any of us cardholders. This seller would have solved our problem of last minute need and our requirement from higher up to include a business’ SAM printout in the purchase file.
Outstanding advice! Thank you for sharing
Great idea. I m trying to follow what you said.
Thank you for confirming & Will leave a printout in SAM! also, does it matter what industry you're in to get the contract?
@@sekiagarrett9019 In the rush scenario I described above, I am not contracting, just buying supplies quickly. At our local level we didn't contract to buy supplies, just did contracts for catering and hotel services. For buying supplies we were required to regularly use sources such as DoD Fedmall and GSA Advantage. Your SAM registration is still valuable as it supports our requirements to show in our files that you are vetted. (Your SAM registration is your company being vetted by the government, it isn't a contract). As for what industry you might be in as a factor in successfully selling to us, it matters only that your products fulfill our needs. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this advice
I am learning a great deal from you. Thanks for the generosity. This opens a whole new world of possibilities.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
@@FedAccess hi these videos are really helpful. I have a question - I am in the early stages of starting my own consulting company and looking to get some subs to get my portfolio growing.
However I am also employed by a known pime. Would this be a conflict of interest?
@@victoriannorman I'm glad you find this helpful! Lots of people get started while they are working for a large prime. The rules depend on where you work. In my case, I had to fill out a form with my existing employer to request approval. I suggest you ask your employer. Best wishes!
Thank you so much for making this all simple
Thank you so much for the great video. Are you able to provide any contractor's website names so that I can lookup examples?
Thank you so much this looks very promising the regular solicitation are so overwhelming! But are these not geared toward service work(painting company)? Also what about if they ask for past experiences?
I want to get started this year
thank you so much with my 20+ years in IT, an Apple Expert, and a software engineer, I have a team of IT experts that is ready to take our company to new heights and your video really helped me to understand this gov contract bidding process...I HAVE SUBSCRIBED!!!
Great to hear!
any advice on how to get into IT and software engineering? I'm currently a truck driver looking to learn new skills
@@Percyrecommends Still need help?
Your Heaven Sent❤
Thank you very much for the great information you are the best, I still need to know where to look for the Simplified Acquisiton and Micro-Purchases can you kindly send us a link we we can find them ?
I have a meeting with the director at my local ptac office tomorrow 😆. I’m looking forward to my growth and clarifying the agencies I want to do business with.
Amazing content! Satisfied Subbie 🤞🏾✨
That's great! Let me know any questions you have
How did your meeting go? Was it worth setting the meeting up? Do you recommend doing it?
@@FedAccess Thanks for your great videos. I have a trucking transportation company, do you suggest I reach out to DOD, DOT, NASA for possible contracts
Great information. What are your thoughts on state and local contracts? Would you recommend that we consider these also to get started? Do you have a video on this subject? Thanks for all you do to help us.
I've spent my life doing federal work, don't know anything about state and local. But my guess is the same principle applies: the key is to get to know people and build relationships.
@@FedAccess Ok thanks
Hello new subscriber here, where would the micro purchase and contracts be listed for viewing
HI new subscriber, is there a way to identify contract opportunities that are under $250K? we have been searching contract and it's a bit overwhelming. I like your approach to starting small contracts. Thank you advance
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Thank you, you explain it very well.
Just have quick question, how can I find proper NAICS code for my business? I am having hard time finding the right ones. Thank you in advance
you can look up your naics code at this website: www.census.gov/naics/ To look up the naics code, enter a keyword that describes your business
This great. I did a 5 day training session in Europe and the poc claims there's a problem but won't really say what, he talked about cots, but the workshops are cots, and an sba poc told me to give them 30 days. Thoughts
Not enough info. Do you have any friends in the organization you could ask?
Many thanks to you. Is there a list of everything the government purchases? Can you do a video about this?
The government buys just about everything. Is there something in particular you would like me to cover in the video?
@@FedAccess is OSBP local. I googled it and only see DOD one.
The more I see your videos, the more knowledge and confidence I gain to win my first Government Contract. Could you tell me if the sole member of an LLC, being currently a federal employee, disqualify that Small Business to participate in Government contracts and/or subcontracts? I really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge.
That probably depends on what grade you are, and whether you're trying to sell to your own agency. If it were me, I would ask PTAC and my HR department.
Can you make a video on how to find your ideal customer or contracting officer?
Thanks. That's an interesting question. I'll noodle it.
@@FedAccess thank you!
For micropurchase, how do they solicit quotes to evaluate if they don't post on Sam?
New Sub! Super helpful. If I’m setting up my LLC with a general Nacis code can I bid on any contracts? If I want to set up as a consultant can I bid on providing pens or paper..etc? That’s the piece I am missing. Or does it have to be specific to one type? My stepdad told me about this in my 20’s and I never looked into it because the gov makes things so complicated. But he told me I can set up as a consultant and bid on many opportunities especially on small works roster. Is this true? Or do I have to start a janitorial business for example and only bid on janitorial? Please clarify. Thanks!!
You can bid on anything as long as you meet the qualification requirements. If you are submitting a bid for, say, janitorial, then i suggest you go back into your SAM registration and add that NAICS code to your profile. You can add NAICS codes in your SAM registration at any time.
@@FedAccess oh nice! That’s great to know. Thank you!
Are there any contracts for educators?
💯💯💯💯💯
Great video❤Do I need a different capability statement for each niche I plan on doing Micro Purchases in?
Best practices is to tailor your one-page capability statement for each customer you meet with. Watch my video on how to create a capability statement, if you haven't already
@@FedAccess will each capability statement require a different LLC, or can I have different cap statements under one LLC. Thanks❤️
Good question. If you're referring to the one-page marketing handout, you can have different ones tailored to different jobs. If you are referring to the company description that you post online in DSBS, then you just have one listing per company.
How about if I don’t have a business. Does the government allow me to subcontract?
I have a insurance business. Do I need to have a business that is more generalized in order to go after contracts or can I still bid on contract under my insurance business whether it’s related to insurance type services or not this is one question that always gets looked over and not much explanation, any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for the great information! When taking a credit card payment for goods, are payments accepted at time of order placement or due on receipt. This is in regards to a government contractor requesting goods through my LLC. SDVOSB... Thanks again
Depends on the company. Sometimes you can negotiate these things, sometimes they have fixed procedures they adhere to
@@FedAccess thank you.
Are there micro purchasing in SAMS?
Great video, how do we go about choosing Keywords? I am in the education industry.
An easy way is to look up your competitors and see what they use
@@FedAccess
Thanks so much, will do.
What type of business is most likely to get a federal contract? How much revenue should they have either large or small? What if you are just starting a business? Should one expect to get a contract if they're just starting out? Thank you.
I recommend people just starting out, start with subcontracting. Check out the video I just posted that explains all about Subcontracting.
what's a great way to find agencies and their information to contact for these type of contracts
Check out this video! it walks you through how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/_tbgSFpIzas/v-deo.html
Awesome video! Very informative. Thank you for sharing. Can you help me please? I want to get into bidding for government contract. I just registered a business name; I will need some guide to the whole process.
Watch my complete course to learn all about government contracting. And if you're just getting started, pay particular attention to episode 3 on Subcontracting
@@FedAccess Will do, thank you very much.
I'm starting a new LLC for federal contracting. I'm a beginner and interested in bidding for service based contracts, like replacing equipment or supplying materials to be shipped. Would this type of business be considered as a logistics subcontractor? I've been doing tons of market research. Do you think it's not enough to serve as a logistics subcontractor? I'm open to new ideas, I feel lost at what kind of service I can give even with my extensive research.
@positiveenergy8725 im also in the same field as you and would like to collab, how are things going with your progress? please reach out, thanks!
How can one outsource the goods to the government? If your company don't have what they need but a client of yours do or a partner....
You’re awesome
Good Afternoon, do you have a example of a good capability statement or how to write one for someone with no previous government experience?
I have the same question
Watch my video on how to write a capability statement: ua-cam.com/video/y3kMBgk9svw/v-deo.html
The short answer is, highlight the commercial experience you do have! For example, if you have 10 years of landscaping experience, highlight that!
If you still have questions, tell me more about the challenges you are having, and I'll try to do a video on this.
Watch my video on how to write a capability statement: ua-cam.com/video/y3kMBgk9svw/v-deo.html
Will watch the video. Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.
Out of curiosity, do you have any insight or ideas as to why an RFP would keep getting extended or having multiple amendments?
Good question. This is quite common. Something in the RFP was unclear or not to the liking of one of the bidders. They submitted a question to the government. The government responds to the question in an Amendment, and extends the due date to give all of the bidders time to incorporate the new information in their bids. Always read the amendments! they'll give you insight into what is going on.
@@FedAccess thank you so much!!
I have a mobile softplay business, would I have any success in getting a contract for my 😢type?
In order to get in the door with a government contractor, I have experience with security and the cleanup team. I could bid for a contract in these small-scale departments to build momentum with the government and move to construction contracts in the future. Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I would start talking to buyers. Check out my video: ua-cam.com/video/fKoVaeJM_sk/v-deo.html And remember that most businesses get their start with subcontracting, so you may want to start there. Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/BHx3R6T7PGc/v-deo.html
@@FedAccess thank you
Do you have a website ,we need your help.
Great video! So what is the actual website that we have to go to for the micro contracts? thank you.
There isn't a central website for these smaller opportunities. The best approach is to reach out to the small business specialists at the agency you are targeting. Contact them, let them know about your capabilities, and ask about upcoming opportunities
Do you need past performance on your capability statement?
Just like you would be unlikely to hire a contractor who had never done the work before, the government also wants to hire companies that it knows can perform the job. If you are a new company just getting started, you may want to look for teaming and subcontracting opportunities.
You mention that the cost of bid is more on larger contracts. How is this? What are they paying for that makes it cost money?
For a big contract, the proposal can be hundreds of pages. That costs. Either your time, if you do it yourself, or the time of others whom you pay.
I am especially interested in Unison and FedConnect. What are your view of reverse auctions to get the ball rolling?
I am a big believer in getting started bidding on contracts, because you will learn a huge amount just by going through the process. Just make sure you don't bid so low that you lose money on the job.
Is it possible to contest the award of contracts or items acquired through the Simplified Access Program? I know that the majority of contacting specialists are honorable, but for the few that may not be... how do we challenge or at least dissuade them from just handing out micro purchases to friends who may be registered in SAM? If I'm reaching out to network... what is their motivation to work with my company?
I've seen this work both ways. For example, there may be an incumbent who understands the work and submits a responsible bid. A new company who doesn't understand the work submits a low bid, and they award the contract to the new company. Sometimes they are just looking for the lowest possible price. Sometimes they are trying to bring in new companies, new competition. In any event, the place to start is getting to know the contracting officers.
Any advice on what to say in an introductory email?
Have you seen this video? It gives tips on who to meet and what to say to them: ua-cam.com/video/shYhSEvKVf0/v-deo.html
