Service & Features
Setting The Standard for Government Procurement
Winning contracts takes more than just a SAM registration. It requires strategy, compliance, and a long-term partner. While other services stop at registration, USFCR supports you through every step of the contracting journey. We provide the tools, training, and team to help you succeed.
- Beyond Registration – Bid strategy, proposals, and compliance support.
- Exclusive Tools – Real-time bid tracking through the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP).
- Ongoing Support – Dedicated case managers focused on your long-term success.
With USFCR, you’re not just getting a registration service—you’re gaining a long-term partner in government contracting. Our full-spectrum solutions, expert guidance, and proprietary technology give businesses everything they need to win federal contracts.
What makes USFCR different from other contracting service providers?
USFCR is the only provider offering a full-suite solution for federal contractors. We don’t just help with SAM registration—we provide bid strategy, proposal writing, set-aside consulting, compliance support, and proprietary technology like the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP) to help businesses track, manage, and win contracts.
Do I need more than just SAM registration to win federal contracts?
Yes. SAM registration is just the first step. Winning contracts requires market research, bid strategy, compliance, and the right connections. USFCR provides expert guidance and procurement tools to help businesses find and secure real contracting opportunities.
What is the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP), and why is it important?
APP is USFCR’s proprietary bid-tracking platform that provides:
✔ Real-time solicitation alerts
✔ Customized bid tracking and management
✔ Market intelligence to identify federal opportunities
✔ Historical contract data and competitor insights
Most competitors do not offer a contract-tracking tool, leaving businesses without the technology to identify and pursue bid opportunities efficiently.
Does USFCR offer ongoing support after SAM registration?
Yes. We assign every client a dedicated case manager to provide long-term contracting support, including compliance monitoring, bid tracking, proposal assistance, and federal procurement training. Many competitors only offer one-time registration help without ongoing guidance.
How does USFCR help businesses leverage set-aside contracts?
Unlike many competitors who only help with certification paperwork, USFCR provides set-aside strategy consulting. We assist businesses in qualifying for programs like 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, and SDVOSB and ensure they understand how to use these certifications to access federally reserved contracts.
