Example: how a Portsmouth engineering services firm would get started

This is an illustration of our process, not a client story.

A Portsmouth engineering services firm wants work with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Pease Air National Guard Base. First, we register it in SAM.gov, confirm its NAICS codes and check SBA certifications. Next, we research how those buyers purchase from small businesses and which contracts are coming up. After that, we register it in the state’s online vendor registration and prepare NHDOT DBE certification if it qualifies.

Frequently asked questions

Can a California-based government contracting consultant help my New Hampshire business?

Yes. Because registrations, certifications and proposals are all filed online, we can work with clients nationwide by video call.

Do I need to register with the NH Secretary of State to win state bids?

Vendors may be required to register with the Secretary of State and must be in good standing to receive bid awards, in addition to registering with the Bureau of Purchase and Property.

Do New Hampshire federal buyers set aside work for small businesses?

Yes. Federal agencies and military bases in New Hampshire buy through small business set-asides, and their prime contractors have small business subcontracting goals. SAM.gov registration and the right SBA certifications put you in position for both.
