Registration and identity

Keep your SAM.gov registration active and accurate: UEI, entity data, NAICS codes and points of contact. Revalidate annually. A lapse freezes new awards and can trigger payment delays on existing ones.

Reporting obligations

Depending on your contract: report subcontract awards (eSRS), update representations and certifications, file for 8(a)/SDVOSB/WOSB/HUBZone annually, and track performance in CPARS. Missed reports risk option-year losses.

Build compliance into your flow

Compliance is a habit, not a task — and it starts with only bidding on contracts that fit your registration. A filtered opportunity radar keeps your bidding aligned with your NAICS and set-aside profile, which is the first rule of staying compliant.
