Contracting

You we’re looking for information on Google about getting registered in SAM and you found a company that says they can help. The paying for the help isn’t so much the problem as getting grifted into believing there was some necessity for them to complete it. Generally speaking, there’s no reason to pay someone to do this registration for you…but even if there is, at least let someone do it who isn’t trying to:

keep the SAM registered in their credentials to prevent your access
wants to sell you some absurd fantasy about suddenly doing 3 different types of contracts with government with no experience
ultimately waste your time since their process for completing a SAM registration is likely about as efficient as doing yourself

A SAM registration is necessary to do government contracting, but it certainly isn’t necessary or even necessarily prudent to pay for this service. Supposing you really don’t want to complete the SAM registration yourself, you should at least get something more from them than simply the registration being completed.

Here at FEDCON…we can complete your SAM registration for you if that’s what you really want…but we’ll also give you a website within our system that has lifetime hosting and zero registration fees. Paying for a lifetime website and getting a SAM registration completed without any additional costs is a better deal by several fold. GoDaddy charges $20 a month for life for a similar service and under nearly all circumstances you’ll pay far more for less with them. Also, our ‘SAM Assistance’ program is only $100 vs the going rate of $599 from our competitors.

Federal contracting is not for everyone and while success can be lucrative, there’s plenty of entities that shouldn’t bother. Assuming you’re a competent and above-board contractor…here are some ways to make sure you’re building on a foundation of stone and not simply building a house of cards.

This is a common and somewhat lazy fallacy. ‘As long as I can win the contracts, I can always just get someone else to do them’. While this sentiment isn’t based on absolutely zero truth, it is flawed on a holistic-basis.

Some types of contract work have to be done the winner of the contract. The procurement officer didn’t vet your subcontractor, they vetted the winner of the contract. There’s other reasons why this cavalier attitude towards subcontracting is illogical. There’s not always enough margin to go through the hassle of bringing in a subcontractor. Some contracts only really make sense to win is if the winner is in a comparative advantage to complete it, such as location or access to the resources involved. There’s isn’t always an equivalent but cheaper subcontractor that is ready, willing, and able.

There is a ceiling, and you have to know your own ceiling
This is almost self-explanatory, but it’s still worth noting.
