St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) - US Federal Contractor Registration is reporting an immediate demand for registered businesses to work federal government contracts in Florida. At this time, there are over 380 listings on the FedBizOpps website posted by contracting officers looking for vendors to bid on available work.
In the past year, over $12 billion has been spent on federal contracts in the state of Florida, 2.80% of the total spent on contracts during the past year reported on the USASpending website.
According to the USASpending website, over 65% of all contracting dollars spent in Florida over the last year were competed and put out for open bidding by contractors. Small businesses in particular are urged to complete registration and place bids for contracts. Of the 99,646 contracts awarded in Florida over the past year, nearly two-thirds were awarded to small businesses. Each federal agency is urged by regulations to award at least 23% of their contracting dollars to small businesses.
The highest numbers of contracts awarded to small businesses were for Engineering Services, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, Research and Development in the Physical Engineering and Life Sciences, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and Ship Building and Repairing however contracting agencies in Florida purchased everything from Aircraft Components to Weapons. With the ever present threat of hurricanes and severe weather in Florida, contractors should also be prepared by completing their FEMA Vendor Profile which allows them to perform on FEMA disaster relief contracts.
The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center has estimated that nearly 20% of CCR records errors or omissions. It is extremely important that contractors' CCR and ORCA registration are complete and accurate. Failure to complete and maintain the required government registrations can result in payment delays or disqualification for government contract awards. Serious errors may even result in fines or punitive action. To win their first contract, most businesses spend an average of 20 months and $100,000 marketing their business to contracting agencies. If their registration is incomplete or incorrect, all that time and money will have been wasted.
