First — what are you trying to do?
We'll score the path that fits your goal (and show the rest if you're not sure).
What is your SAM.gov registration status?
SAM.gov registration is required for any federal contract and most state contracts that reference federal systems.
Do you carry business insurance?
Most government contracts require general liability, and workers' comp if you have employees.
Are your state and trade licenses current?
State business registration plus any trade or specialty licenses your service category requires.
Do you have documented past projects you can reference?
Government buyers and primes look for a track record. Commercial work counts if it's documented.
Do you have a capability statement?
A government-ready one-page summary of what your business does, your differentiators, and your codes.
Do you know the NAICS codes for the work you want?
NAICS codes categorize the contracts you can pursue and set your small-business size standard.
Could you get a performance or payment bond if a contract required one?
Larger contracts may require surety bonds. Many smaller service contracts do not.
Do any small-business certifications apply to your business?
WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), or a state MBE certification can open set-aside contracts.
