One of the world's largest buyers and wholesalers of goods and services is the United States federal government. The federal government spends more than $850 billion each year on purchases of goods and services, and to tap into the vast world of the federal government, business owners must consider the question of how to obtain government contracts. Each level of government has different needs. This need can arise in the fields of technology, aviation, agriculture, education, security, and engineering work such as building construction and pipe system maintenance.

Extensive federal requirements give businesses of all sizes, including small businesses and corporations, an equal opportunity to compete and secure contracts. For small and medium-sized businesses, the government has allocated 20-25% of their budget of nearly $98 billion. Once the contract is completed, you will receive a stable income and a stable job, which is a great business opportunity. Government contracting is a maze of regulations that federal vendors need guides and tips to understand or master. Below are some tips to keep in mind on how to successfully secure government contracts.

• Register with the federal government by registering to the following- 1) Data Universal Numbering System “DUNS”- A unique 9-digit identifier provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) for business owners. 2)  Register with Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and SBA DSBS. CCR is required to qualify a company. Registering in the section above will help you promote your business to other agencies. This will also increase your company's credibility and suitability, increasing your chances of winning the contract.
• Company must be certified. Small business owners like women must have registrations and certifications like Sam Registration, HUBZone Certification and Woman Owned Small Business Certification. This requires extensive documentation, but makes the company eligible to receive small or large contracts from the government. When you qualify and certify your company, be sure to make a meaningful statement. We detail all the information you need, including core business competencies, business history, financial stability, GSA schedule, and other information needed to successfully complete the contract.
• Obtaining government contracts requires a deep understanding of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). It is very important to follow proper procedures and guidelines. Be aware that if you make a mistake, the contracting officer will ignore your business offer and pass it on to another competitor who is highly qualified and meets the set criteria.
• Get information about where to find government contracts. You can visit the nearest government office in your area to inquire about contract options. You can also visit the government's website to find better options or register with an intermediary company that provides tender notification services.
