Government Consulting Experts That Will Take Your Business to the Next Level

Universal Spartan, LLC a background in Government Business Development, Government Strategic Planning, and Government Business Consulting with successful past performance with the Federal Government.

Did you know the U.S. federal government buys over $100 billion worth of goods and services from small and large businesses each year? It’s a lucrative business opportunity, indeed!

However, selling to the federal government demands a completely different go-to-market approach than does the commercial sector. And because a certain amount of Uncle Sam’s budget is specifically set aside for small businesses, you’ll also need to meet a few regulatory formalities to make sure you’re qualified and registered to sell to the government.

Sounds like a time-consuming and daunting process? Well, yes it can be, particularly for resource-constrained small businesses. However, done right and with plenty of consulting from Universal Spartan, LLC business owners can successfully land their share of federal business.

Some Reasons to contract with the Federal Government?

The government’s annual budget exceeds $1000 billion

  • There is certainly a piece of the pie waiting for your company if you can provide services or products to the government.

Stability

  • Most service contracts are for at least a year and usually three years. If you have a steady income for that period, it certainly makes life easier.

Timely Payments

  • Payments are typically made within 30 days. Construction contracts happen within ten days. If you do not get paid within the terms of the contract the government will pay you interest on the amount they owe you.

Open Entry

  • You can get started at any time once you have done all the necessary registration.

Transparency

  • If you are scrutinized and made to adhere to standards, you can be assured every other company doing government contracting is being scrutinized as well. The amount of dishonesty is lower because of the intense standards government contractors are required to adhere to.

A firm is rigorously evaluated on its ownership, operations, financial health and past performance before being admitted to the program. Once accepted, the firm is required to provide SBA a detailed business plan and show continued success as a viable, strong business entity. The program runs for a period of nine years. The SBA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal Agencies allowing them to contact directly with certified 8(a) firms. Participants can receive sole source contracts, up to a ceiling of $5 million for services and $8.5M for manufacturing.
