Five questions, about two minutes. You will get a straight read on where you actually stand, your gaps named specifically, and a free 30-minute call with us — whatever the answer turns out to be.
Most businesses that want to bid on government contracts are not blocked by the thing they think is blocking them. They assume it is finding opportunities. Usually it is registration, or a capability statement that does not exist, or past performance nobody has ever written down.
This tells you which it is for you. It is free, there is no signup, and nothing is scored against you — the point is to name the gaps, not to sell you a package.
We read them before the call. That is the whole purpose. It means the thirty minutes goes on your situation rather than on us asking what SAM.gov is and whether you are in it.
We do not add you to a mailing list, we do not sell the data, and we do not pass it on. If you never book the call, nothing happens next.
That is useful information, not a rejection, and it is worth knowing before you spend three months chasing bids you cannot legally be awarded.
There is a free route and you should know about it. APEX Accelerators are federally funded, exist in every state, and will help you register in SAM, review a capability statement and work through certification questions at no charge. SBA district offices and SCORE do similar. If you have the time and patience to work at their pace, it is genuinely good help and it costs nothing.
If you would rather it was done for you in four weeks, that is what the Bid-Ready Sprint is. Either way, take the free call first.
If your gap is past performance, be aware that no four-week programme manufactures it. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
What can be done is real, though. Since 2022, SBA rules let you use performance earned as a first-tier subcontractor or joint venture member when bidding as a prime, and the prime has to give you that rating if you ask. Below $250,000 the requirements are often reduced or waived. And commercial work you have already delivered usually belongs in the record, framed against what the evaluator is scoring. That is the honest path, and it starts with subcontracts and small buys rather than a large prime pursuit.
Quick note, no pressure. Goes straight to Margarita and the sales team — usually a same-day reply.
