TLDR Which Parts of the Federal Acquisition Regulation Matter?

[@andresemiliodistefano4681]

This is BY FAR the most informative fed contracting info channel on youtube, and no unnecessary BS like on so many other channels. Thank you!

[@FedAccess]

Thank you, I'm glad it's helpful!

[@MIDE..]

Agreed.

[@1mandrywallarmytv144]

for sure she's bringing the real info without all the unnecessary hype. Compact message from start to finish!

[@Chase-qq9no]

Hands down the best federal contracting advice on KZbin!

[@FedAccess]

Thank you!

[@BLULIU]

@@FedAccessI have a question. Can your talk about the middleman strategy? On limitations on subcontracting? On how you do a proposal letter?

[@shereefelton7728]

Definitely most clarity on government contracts thus far. Keep em coming.

[@hewill]

The mother of federal contractors online! Better than the help desk! I truly appreciate all the videos. If anyone hasn’t told you, you are AMAZING and I’m very grateful!

[@militarytravelllc]

Thanks for tackling this subject. I was intimidated when hearing “2,000 pages” and thought there was no way I could learn all there is, but by checking the solicitation first helps tremendously!

[@Scole23786]

Your explanation with visuals are so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@mikearnold2079]

You always give the info in a manner that is easy to follow and understand, much appreciated

[@yvonnedonis11]

This video was really helpful. You've done an excellent job at explaining in detail the intro to FAR! Thank you.

Thanks you for this important information. I learn so much watching your videos. You are so appreciated.

[@clemmiemangum9306]

Can you make a video on how to search on the NAICS Association site, step by step

[@FedAccess]

OK. Let me know what, specifically, is giving you trouble. What would you like me to cover?

[@jeffreyjon777]

Your information is as usual, impeccable. Thank You

[@waynecmontgomery]

Great video!!! And I love your background. My organization was able to obtain a maritime drone contract from the US Navy (DOD) & NATO. Thank you for the support videos.

[@FedAccess]

That is awesome! Congratulations! Have you ever looked into the SBIR program?

[@bigbisketx]

Hello, I was employed by government contractor & a subcontractor for over 11 years here locally on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville Alabama. I've lived here all my life. We also have NASA & Space Camp. I would love to sub from a primary or even sell products to government, just don't know where to start. Thanks

[@waynecmontgomery]

@@FedAccess We have both SBIR and STTR projects underway with the DOD. As I indicated to you before we have contracts and grant projects in Europe with the European Union defense agency and the United Kingdom. We are a nonprofit company that operates a for-profit subsidiary in Europe. The contracting process in Europe is NOT as cumbersome as it is here in the U.S. Again thank you for all of your help.

[@FedAccess]

@ShannonBevel You're ahead of a lot of people in that you know who your customer is. That's great! I always recommend starting with what you know. Can you get your employer to hire your business as a subcontractor?

[@Maxwellhanes]

Truly a Gem!! Thank you so much FedAcess Your the Realist!!💙💙🙏🏽

[@AjCollins1979utp]

Yes I would like to learn government contracting

[@babythomas19062007]

Good video. I use it to give me an overview of the FAR in preparation for a bid management for DOD contract.

[@FedAccess]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kpari5018]

Happy Holidays! Thank you for your information and great help! How do I print my Reqs & Certs requested from my SAM profile to provide it with my submissions

[@Diamond_HunterENT]

A business does not have to download or include them in their response to Solicitations if registered in SAM.Gov. Has the business responded to SOW, RFP, PWSs related to your NAICS?

[@asisbusi]

Thanks for this helpful video!

[@theknightway17]

Wow! Awesome breakdown thank you!

[@KTOJRICH.]

Hey love I'am fully registered in the system with Sam, I just don't know where to start now lol I have literally watch almost all your videos 😅 I need a lil guidance any pointers or assistance to point pple like me in the right direction? Thank you for the gems 💎 you give us out here that's trying to break generational curses #OneLove 🖤

[@FedAccess]

The first step is to find your target customers. Check out my video on What To Do First

[@damionpottinger5367]

Hello how are you doing i had a quick question How do i email or send the subcontractor the sow from a solicitation to get a quote do i screen shot it or download also when assuming my subs past performance price tech etc how do i ask for those in detail from the sub so i can present it to the CO for the solicitation

[@FedAccess]

You can download the SOW when you download the solicitation. It will either be part of the solicitation document or provided as a separate attachment. For your second question, when you send the company a request for proposal, specify what information you want them to provide, e.g., past performance, technical approach, price.

[@Diamond_HunterENT]

….also redact solicitation for the part where you’re subcontracting to the company and ensure an NDA is signed before hand and by both parties.

[@Little_DisneyCRAZY]

Very informative! Thanx!!!

[@icol86]

Nicely explained

[@FedAccess]

Thank you!

[@thechelseajayexperience]

I love your videos! They are a godsend and really helping me navigate this process. Will you make a video on budget development/formatting? How do I know how much is too much to charge? I want to submit a bid, but I don't want to submit the lowest and screw myself over. Also, do you ever do one on one coaching for newbies?!

[@FedAccess]

I think you'll learn alot by submitting your first bid. Just make sure it's not too low - I don't want you to lose money. When the contract is awarded they will tell you the awarded price, and you can see how close you were. What does your business do?

[@thechelseajayexperience]

@@FedAccess thank you so much! I'm an event planner!

Want to make a move from oil and gas epc contracts to govt contracts. I have a legal background and I enjoyed this. Is there any certifications to be obtained for FARS/DFARS

[@1mandrywallarmytv144]

does it take a long time the DoD to make a decision on who to award a contract to. Do subs need to be registered on Sam on the date of the bid due date, or can they still sneak in as a sub as long as they registered by the award date? Thank you in advance

[@FedAccess]

Subcontractors do not need to be registered in SAM, however, in some cases they need to have a UEI number. The time to award a contract can vary widely from days to months depending upon the contract.

[@1mandrywallarmytv144]

@@FedAccess thank you so much for that valued response.

[@kimberlyagee7338]

Hi. I opened a solicitation with a construction clause. Are we suppose to fill in anything on it? There are a few check boxes asking about the type of business the offeror is such as small or vet owned etc. Wasn't sure if we are suppose to do that or the contracting officer. ?Thanks

[@FedAccess]

It sounds like you're talking about the reps and certs. That is something filled out by the business.

[@allenpatrickw1202]

Were can you find that actual contract to check the FAR clauses that apply?

[@FedAccess]

They will be in the Solicitation. Many people are confused by this. The Solicitation document contains the FAR clauses that apply. That's why i constantly ask people to read the solicitation.

[@villainofvirginia7747]

I have a question. And thank you so much for the information! When I go to get a business license, what is the ideal type of business I should consider? I'm stuck on that part.

[@FedAccess]

Are you asking what your business should do? What niche to focus on? Or are you asking what form to use, e,g., sole proprietorship, LLC, SCorp?

[@villainofvirginia7747]

@@FedAccess like the type of industry to start? When I apply for my business, what would be the industry 🤔
