About contracting with the government.How do I know what opportunities are out there for me to do business with the government? There are several ways to learn about business opportunities with the government. Our book takes you step-by-step through the process of identifying opportunities. Our web site also offers information about finding opportunities through some important government web sites, like the DOD EMALL. The Procurement Technical Assistance Center network (PTAC) can also provide comprehensive information on how to do business with the government at the federal, state and local levels. What contracting references are must haves? Our award winning book, Win Government Contracts for Your Small Business, has been called “…a must read.” Aside from that, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is known as the government contracting bible. It covers the laws and regulations governing contracting with the federal government. Where can I get all the forms and documents you refer to? Each form reproduced in the appendices of our book is available from the downloads page of this web site. There you’ll also find many other documents that we think you’ll find very useful as you prepare to take your business into the federal market. Why is there so much talk about quality assurance? To assure the government, as well as other prospective customers, that you’ll provide a quality product, you need to have a well-documented quality assurance (QA) program in place. Your program should provide a systematic approach for evaluation, inspection, testing, calibration or whatever is needed to monitor and assure the quality of your product. And, most importantly, that approach should be written down. Why are preferred vendor lists so important? Almost every large business, including prime contractors, have an Approved/Preferred Vendor List, or something very similar, that lists the vendors and subcontractors that have been approved by the prime for quality, on-time delivery, and other factors. Many small businesses work very hard to get on these lists. And you should, as well, because being on the list means that you have passed the test that allows you to sell your products or services to that particular prime contractor. How do you get on these preferred vendor lists? Basically, you need to do two things: First, you need to fill out their Approved/Preferred Vendor evaluation form, and second, submit to an inspection. Does the government really care about the size of the businesses it buys from? The government not only actively seeks out small business participation when it buys products and services, but it also goes to great lengths and spends lots of money in outreach programs to find good, qualified small businesses to be its suppliers. What can Win Government Contracts really teach me? Lots! Among many other things, our book will teach you:
