Eligibility to Do Business With the Government
Eligibility to do business with the federal government is relatively simple. First, your organization must be registered with the primary registrant database for the U.S. Federal Government, The Central Contractors Registration. Here you must provide accurate and truthful information about your company.
If you are claiming small business status, then you must comply with the NAICS standards a set forth by the Code of Federal Regulations.
When bidding on government contracts, you can provide experience from the commercial industry so long as it is relevant to the published solicitation. Other statutory tolls include joint ventures and teaming agreements. Consult with a government contracts attorney for more detailed guidance.
