Frequently Asked Questions

What is an 8(a) sole-source contract?

An 8(a) sole-source award bypasses competition and is awarded directly to a specific 8(a) firm by the SBA on behalf of the procuring agency. Dollar thresholds are $4.5 million for most industries and $7.5 million for manufacturing. Above those thresholds, 8(a) contracts must be competed among 8(a) firms.

How do I find federal contracting opportunities?

Federal contracting opportunities are posted on SAM.gov (System for Award Management). You can search by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside type, agency, and response deadline. FedOps aggregates and enriches SAM.gov data daily so you can filter and track opportunities in one place.

What is a NAICS code?

A NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code is a 2–6 digit number that classifies businesses by industry. Federal agencies assign a primary NAICS code to each solicitation to indicate the type of work being procured. Businesses register their NAICS codes in SAM.gov to indicate which industries they operate in.

How do I register to bid on federal contracts?

You must register your business in SAM.gov (sam.gov), which is free. You'll need a DUNS/UEI number, NAICS codes for your business, bank account information for electronic funds transfer, and applicable certifications (8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.) if bidding on set-asides. Registration is renewed annually.
