Once I am certified how do I search for set-asides?
Federal agencies are required to post contracting opportunities at http://SAM.gov , including Requests for Information (RFIs) or Sources Sought (SS) Notices as acquisition strategies are being formed. Responding to RFIs and SS Notices is an important way for industry to inform Contracting Officers of their availability and often can result in contracts being set-aside for limited competition. Building relationships with federal customers, including federal Offices of Small Business Programs (OSBPs) or Offices of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBUs) also can help create set-aside and sole-source opportunities.
