Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? Dr. McKnight Has Answers.

Here are the most common questions we hear from businesses exploring federal contracting opportunities.

SAM.gov (System for Award Management) is the official U.S. government system where businesses must register to bid on federal contracts, receive government payments, and be visible to contracting officers. Without an active SAM registration, your business cannot participate in any federal procurement opportunity. Registration is free on SAM.gov, but the process can be complex — which is exactly where we help.
