Is SAM.gov registration free? +
Yes. Registering your entity in SAM.gov is completely free directly through the government at SAM.gov. Our $599 fee is for professional guidance, setup support, code review, and a bid-readiness roadmap — not for the registration itself.
Then what am I actually paying for? +
Time, clarity, and fewer mistakes. The process is detailed and easy to get wrong the first time. We walk you through it step by step, help you choose the right NAICS/PSC codes, prepare your UEI/CAGE information, flag common errors that cause delays, and give you a clear plan for what to do next. You keep full ownership of your accounts.
Do you guarantee I'll win contracts? +
No — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. We help you get registered correctly and bid-ready. Whether you win work depends on your offerings, pricing, competition, and the government's own decisions.
Can you speed up or force SAM.gov approval? +
No. SAM.gov is operated by the government and processed on its own schedule, which we can't control or accelerate. What we can do is help you avoid the errors and missing information that cause the most common delays.
Do I keep control of my SAM.gov account? +
Always. You own your SAM.gov login, your entity records, and your information the entire time. We provide guidance and review — you hold the keys.
What's the difference between UEI and CAGE? +
Your UEI (Unique Entity ID) is assigned in SAM.gov and identifies your business across the federal system. A CAGE code is a separate identifier tied to your entity. We explain both in plain terms and get your information ready so the process goes smoothly.
How do I know which NAICS and PSC codes to choose? +
That's part of the package. We review what your business actually does and help you select codes that match — so buyers can find you and you're targeting the right kinds of opportunities.
How long does it take? +
It varies based on how quickly you share your details and on government processing times, which are outside our control. After we review your situation, we'll give you a realistic estimate for your business.
What happens after I pay? +
A U.S.-based specialist reaches out to begin intake, gathers your details, and guides you through setup. Prefer to talk first? Send the form and we'll confirm fit before you pay anything.
Are you affiliated with the government? +
No. Federal Bid Partners is a private consulting company. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any federal entity. SAM.gov registration is free directly through the government.
