Services
PLAINS provides a wide range of assistance, at no charge, to help your company succeed in government contracting. Contact us for help in the following areas:
Determining Suitability for Contracting: The government marketplace poses unique challenges that can overwhelm a company that does not have the resources to meet them. Our counselors can help you determine if your company is ready for government opportunities and how to best position yourself to succeed.
Securing Necessary Registrations: PLAINS can assist with registration for the various databases necessary for you to participate in the government marketplace, including the Department of Defense's Central Contractor Registration (CCR), the SBA's SUB-Net, and other government vendor databases.
SDB, 8(a), HUBzone and other certifications: Certain small businesses are eligible for preferred status in some government solicitations. Our counselors can help you determine if your company is eligible for any of these certifications and guide you through the steps necessary to secure them.
Researching Procurement Histories: "What agencies have bought products like yours in the past? Which companies have been awarded these contracts? How much have they been paid?" Answers to questions like these are necessary to guide your marketing strategy and give you a competitive edge. Our counselors can help you ask the right questions and get the information you need to succeed.
Networking: PLAINS sponsors various events, providing critical opportunities to connect with agency buying officers, prime contractors and other businesses that may offer teaming or subcontracting opportunities for our clients.
Identifying Bid Opportunities: PLAINS can make sure that you are notified -- on a daily basis -- of all government contract opportunities that your company is eligible to bid on. We utilize a sophisticated automated bid matching system that delivers emails daily.
and much more.
