Win government contracts. Federal, state, and corporate set-asides.

Government contracting at scale requires the right certifications: SAM.gov to receive any federal contract, GSA Schedule for the largest federal vehicle, plus set-aside certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, MBE, DBE) for reserved contract pools. Most businesses qualify for multiple. We handle the applications end-to-end and the annual renewals that most contractors forget.

Why File.Business for government contracting

End-to-end government contracting support. Carefully.

SAM.gov first

SAM.gov registration is the prerequisite for every federal contract and grant. We submit, track for approval, and manage annual renewals. Lapsed SAM.gov = no contracts.

Multiple certifications

Most disadvantaged business owners qualify for multiple set-asides. WOSB plus 8(a). HUBZone plus DBE. We coordinate parallel applications at a bundle discount.

Annual renewals tracked

Every set-aside certification requires recertification annually or every 3 years. We track and refile before expiration. Lapsed certification removes you from set-aside competition.

NAICS code optimization

NAICS codes determine which contracts you can bid. We pick primary plus 5-15 secondaries optimized for your services.

Bid support

Federal contracting suite includes opportunity monitoring: we watch SAM.gov for relevant solicitations and notify you with a 5-day lead so you have time to prepare a proposal.

Federal team experience

Our certification specialists are former SBA reviewers and federal contracting officers. We know what reviewers look for and how to write applications that get approved the first time.

FAQ

About Government Contracting.

How do I get into government contracting?
Getting into federal contracting generally starts with forming a proper entity, registering in SAM.gov to get a UEI, identifying relevant NAICS codes, and pursuing any set-aside certifications you qualify for, then finding and bidding on opportunities. We handle the entity and registration foundation so you can pursue contracts.
What is SAM.gov registration?
SAM.gov is the federal System for Award Management, and active registration with a Unique Entity ID is generally required to receive federal contracts, grants, and payments, so it is the gateway to federal work. We handle SAM.gov registration so your business is eligible to contract with the government.
Do I need special certifications to win federal contracts?
Not always, but set-aside certifications like WOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), and service-disabled veteran status can give access to reserved contracts, so they help if you qualify. We flag which certifications fit your ownership so you pursue the ones that open doors for your business.
What is a UEI?
The Unique Entity ID is the federal identifier assigned through SAM.gov that replaced the old DUNS number for contracting, so your business needs one to do federal work. We obtain it as part of SAM.gov registration so your business has the identifier federal systems require. See DUNS vs UEI.
What are NAICS codes?
NAICS codes classify your business's industry, and federal agencies use them to identify and set aside contracts, so choosing the right codes affects which opportunities you match. We flag how NAICS codes fit your SAM.gov registration so your business is positioned for the contracts it can actually pursue.
What is past performance and why does it matter?
Past performance is your track record on prior contracts, which agencies weigh in awarding new ones, so building and documenting it matters for winning future work. We flag how past performance factors in so you build the record that supports future bids.
Do I need a GSA Schedule?
A GSA Schedule can streamline selling to the government by putting your offerings on a pre-negotiated contract, which helps for certain businesses, though it is not required for all federal work. We flag whether pursuing a Schedule fits your goals so you invest in it where it pays off.
What compliance comes with federal contracts?
Federal contractors face requirements around registration, reporting, labor and other regulations, and sometimes audits, so contracting brings ongoing compliance. We keep your entity and registrations organized so your business meets the obligations that come with federal work.
Can File.Business help me pursue government contracts?
Yes: we form the entity, handle SAM.gov registration and your UEI, and flag the set-aside certifications and requirements that fit your business, coordinating with specialists where needed, so you have the foundation to pursue federal contracting.
