Have SAM registration instructions left you feeling frustrated? Were you excited about the idea of expanding your business and bidding on government contracts, but now feel lost in a sea of government-speak? You aren’t alone, and we can help.
The folks over at SAM.gov will tell you again and again that SAM registration is free, that you can do it yourself, and that there is plenty of help available. We suppose that depends on your definition of “free” and “help.” They say time is money, and it can take as long as 20 hours (or more) to complete the registration process, and that is time that you can better spend running your company.
SAM registration instructions are extremely complicated, and when you go to SAM.gov and look under the “Help” heading, you will find user guides and videos to move you through the registration process. The guide to help you learn how to register for SAM is nearly 200 pages in length, which is hardly light reading.
If you wish to bypass the ordeal of SAM registration and SAM registration instructions, the team at Federal Contractor Registry can help. We do charge for our services, of course, but we can complete SAM registration quickly, saving you time and frustration. Our clients range from small business to large Fortune 500 corporations. We are a third-party registration service that was created to address the needs of businesses that wish to do business with federal, state and local governments.
Not only can we save you time, we also will ensure that your SAM registration is completed correctly. If you complete registration on our own, you won’t actually know if you completed the process correctly until you are approved. If you make even one mistake, this could cause your application to be rejected and you’ll need to start over again. This is a huge reason to use an experienced SAM registration provider.
What We Need
Before we can get started, we do need some basic information. This includes your DUNS number, bank account number, bank routing number and your tax id number. The DUNS number can be obtained for free on the Dun & Bradstreet website. It takes just a few days for you to receive your DUNS number.
Because of recent suspected fraudulent activity in SAM, the government now requires that you submit a notarized letter in addition to the SAM registration. Templates for this letter and instructions can be found at FSD.gov. If you go to the top of the homepage, you will see a section marked “Top Help Topics.” Click on that link and you will head to a page that addresses top help topics by system. The first box is marked “System for Award Management,” and you’ll see that all of the sections in this box are in regards to the notarized letter requirement.
If you haven’t started SAM registration or you have and are completely frustrated with the SAM registration instructions, give us a call today. The government offers hundreds of lucrative contracts every year for all types of businesses, so don’t miss out on your opportunity to grab some of the government contracting pie.
