The Four (4) Phases of Government Contracting Progression

--

Welcome to the world of government contracting — a realm where diligence meets opportunity. Whether you’re a fledgling entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner venturing into the government sector, understanding the journey is crucial to your success. With nearly three decades of experience, we’re here to streamline the pathway and accelerate your profitability.

Stage 1: Subcontracting

Embarking on your government contracting voyage often begins with subcontracting. It’s here that you get your feet wet, understand the nuances of federal projects, and build a network of industry connections. Subcontracting serves as your learning curve where you gain the experience needed to navigate the complex landscape of government contracts.

Stage 2: Sole Source Contracts

As you progress, you’ll encounter sole-source contracts. This is your opportunity to shine without the competitive pressure. Sole source contracts are awarded directly, without a bidding war, typically due to unique capabilities or meeting specific socioeconomic criteria. It’s a phase that combines your unique business value with strategic positioning within the market.

Stage 3: Set-Aside Contracts

Graduating to the next level introduces you to set-asides. These are competitive contracts, but the competition is limited to businesses within specific socioeconomic categories, such as women-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Set-asides level the playing field, offering you a fair chance to compete among peers with similar attributes.

Stage 4: Full and Open Contracts

The zenith of your progression is full and open competition. It’s where you play in the big leagues, vying for contracts against the best and the brightest, unrestricted by size or status. Success at this level signifies your maturity in the field, where you understand the complexities of government contracting and have the capability and infrastructure to manage them effectively.
