Welcome to all... To the Premier Blog for the most boring of subjects: Federal Government Contracting. The good news is that you will find nuggets of information that you can trade in for payments from the government. Hey, send me a question or two and I'll have more fun blogging! GB. Summer, 2011
Recently the government has been trying to crack down on the fraud of larger businesses representing themselves as a small business - usually by getting a woman or disabled veteran to act as a front in a sham relationship. Because of this, "self certification" has become a process you need to follow with the SBA and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
As a veteran (not a woman, thank you), I am sorry that some of my brothers and sisters will agree to be part of this. You know who you are - and what you are.
The certifications do not cost anything, but require that you complete the process on the government web sites.
Service Disabled Veteran - http://www.vetbiz.gov/
Woman owned - http://www.sba.gov/content/contracting-opportunities-women-owned-small-businesses
Might as well get this done now, as many federal solicitations now require that you be certified. So take a few minutes and get registered so you will be ready when the right contract comes along.
Best to all, and check back often for more fascinating and exciting news about GSA and government contracting! Can it get more exciting? Probably not, but tune in anyway.
