The Game Plan

For newcomers to government sales, a typical strategy looks like registering on SAM, getting a designated set-aside status like SDVOSB, and then looking for bids on SAM. This strategy usually results in aspiring contractors being very disappointed with very few, if any, contract awards. The issue with this strategy is that about one out of 10 dollar obligations ever make it to SAM as a competitive solicitation. This also doesn’t count all purchases made under the micropurchase threshold. Relying on SAM alone to fill the company’s sales pipeline won’t cut it. Government contracting officers rarely buy from people who neither have any government past performance nor with someone they don’t know.

MYTH: Doing business with the government does not rely on relationships and does not require any marketing. All that is required finding opportunities on web sites and responding with quotes/proposals.

FACT: Having great relationships with government end users can provide more opportunities beyond RFQs/RFPs posted to government web sites. Some opportunities do not even require the government put it out for a competitive bid process so knowing someone could present more chances to do business. Furthermore, relationships also help build positive past performance history which is critical to winning future opportunities.
