Example: how a Colorado Springs software firm would get started
This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.
A Colorado Springs software firm wants space and defense work. We register it in SAM.gov, confirm its NAICS codes and check SBA certifications. We research which Space Force and Army buying offices purchase similar software, which primes hold those contracts and whether an SBIR topic fits its product. We register it in Colorado VSS for state work and send a capability statement to primes that need small business partners.
