Why Federal Contracting

With more and more of the commercial and private construction projects drying up there is an ever increasing trend for contractors to make a venture into the federal contracting arena. For many, they have dabbled in the federal market a few times but ultimately opted out due to the seemingly overwhelming amount of rules and paperwork. Not to mention the Government Inspectors who stand their ground no matter how shifty their ground becomes.

Contracting with the U.S. Government does not have to be as frightful or mysterious as you may think or may have been told. Once you learn the basic processes and become familiar with your contractual rights as well as the Government's rights, the results of establishing yourself in this market can be quite rewarding.

Of particular interest would be those companies who hold some sort of minority status. In the federal world the most recognized minority certifications are Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). If you qualify for any of these designations you significantly increase your chances of winning federal contracts.

Right now is an opportune time to get into the federal contracting business. Billions of dollars of Stimulus money has been earmarked for Government construction projects and, of these billions, a large amount has been set aside for contractors with one of the above minority certifications. There has never been a better time to break into this field of work.

How do you know if you are qualified for one of these certifications? How do you get started? Want to know more from someone who has been doing business in this industry for over 30 years?
