SAM.gov registration for contractors
Any contractor can bid on government work.
No experience. No certification. No minimum size. You just have to be registered, and that is where almost everybody stops.
One time fee. We do the paperwork. Job alerts after for $19.99 a month.
Doing it yourself takes weeks and most people get stuck. See what goes wrongIndependent service, not a government agency. Registering at SAM.gov is free and you can do it yourself.

Quick buys
Small jobs an agency can buy fast with a purchase card. Least competition and the easiest place to start.
Reserved for small business
By federal rule this range is set aside for small businesses when two or more are expected to compete. Big firms are shut out of it.
Full and open
Larger projects with full competition and heavier requirements. Worth growing into, not starting with.
Ranges reflect federal purchasing thresholds set on October 1, 2025, not quotes. What any single job pays depends on the scope, the agency, and your own bid.
So why does anyone pay for this
Because doing it alone takes weeks and usually stalls.
The system was built for paperwork people, not for guys running crews. Here is what the do it yourself route actually looks like.
One comma kills it
LLC or L.L.C. Not the same business.
Validation fails
Your address does not match the IRS.
They want documents
State seal only. Screenshots rejected.
You wait
Ticket reviews run for weeks.
Wrong codes
Wrong jobs reach you. Or none.
It expires
You are out of the system again.
We take all of it off your plate
We fill out the forms, check your name and address and EIN against your IRS records, pick your trade codes, and stay on it until you are active. You keep working. That is what the $399 buys.
Who buys from registered contractors
Every level of government. One registration.
Federal agencies, all 50 states, and the counties, cities and school districts underneath them. It starts with being in the system.
What the government charges to register. Our fee is for doing the work with you.
How long SAM.gov says it can take to go active once you submit.
How often your registration has to be renewed to stay active.
How it works
Four steps. We do most of them.
The only part you have to do yourself is click submit, and we are on the call when you do.
Answer a few questions
Ten minutes. Your trade, your business details, where you work.
We do the paperwork
Every form filled out and checked against your IRS records before you touch it.
We get on a call
You submit from your own account with your own password. We walk you through it.
We stay on it
Until you are active. Then we remind you before it expires.

Before you pay, know this. Gov Bid Setup is a private company and not a government agency. Registering in SAM.gov is free and you can do it yourself at sam.gov. Free assistance is also available from the Federal Service Desk and from APEX Accelerators. Your $399 pays for us to do the work for you, not for access to the government system.
Questions
Straight answers
It is free. Why pay you?
Registering is free at sam.gov and we will always tell you that. You are paying us to fill it out, catch the mistakes that stall it for weeks, and pick up the phone when something goes wrong. Free help is also available through APEX Accelerators if you would rather do it yourself.
Do you log in as me?
No. Federal rules do not allow anyone else to use your login. You type your own password on our call and the account stays yours.
How long does it take?
SAM.gov says up to 10 business days after you submit. It runs longer when your business name or address does not match your IRS records, which is the first thing we check.
What do I need?
Your legal business name, your address, your EIN, and a business bank account. That is it.
Will I get a contract?
Nobody can promise that. Registering is what lets you bid and get paid. Without it you are not in the running at all.
Do I need experience with government work?
No. Most people we register have never bid a public job. There is no minimum size, no required certification, and no experience needed.
I tried before and gave up.
That happens constantly. We pick it up wherever it stopped instead of starting over.
Stop leaving government work on the table
One call and a flat $399. Then you can bid.
