Did you know that you could become a government contractor even if you are a solopreneur? A lot of companies are scared of getting into government contracting because of various roadblocks such as staffing, finances, and past performance. These are actually legitimate roadblocks for many businesses. The reason these are a challenge is because most people are thinking too big. If you focus on smaller contracts that you can self-perform, a lot of these challenges disappear. If you are a solopreneur, this podcast will give you a road map and specific guidance on how to get into government contracting and actually win some work.

When people initially learn about government contracting it’s usually through a movie like War Dogs or a friend that makes it sound like you can make millions overnight with little or no effort. This is just one of many unreasonable expectations that can put a bad taste in your mouth about this market. If you are relatively new or struggling in this market because of these expectations, this podcast will help you shift your mindset and point you in the right direction so you can start winning contracts.

I recently sat down with GovCon Consultant and Expert Witness Jeff Cuskey to talk about Efficient Government Contracting Processes. Jeff has a wealth of knowledge in current government contracting practices as well as the history behind how we got to where we are today. We discussed everything from full and open competition to simplified acquisition and everything in between.

If you’re a small business and you have any sort of status, 8a, SDVOSB, WOSB, SDB, ANC, ISBEE, or anything else that I might have missed, you need to listen up. One of the challenges that I see all the time for government contractors that have a status is, that they spend a lot of time and energy getting the status and then they don’t use it properly. People will call me up and say, “I’ve got this status, but people won’t return my calls and I’m not winning contracts.” The first question I always ask is: Have you sat down with the OSDBU or the OSBP? The Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization or the Office of Small Business Programs is there to be your advocate. This episode will walk you through how to leverage these offices to open doors and ultimately win contracts.
