Central Contractor Registration (CCR) • Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary registrant database for the U.S. Federal Government. CCR collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. It is an online database of information on thousands of businesses and serves as a search engine for Contracting Officers, a marketing tool for vendors and a “link” to procurement opportunities and other important information. • All prospective vendors must be registered in CCR prior to award of any Government Contract. CCR Registration is FREE. Please note that if you are already registered with CCR, you are required to update your registration on an annual basis. • To obtain information regarding registering in the CCR, call 1-888-227-2423, or log on to the CCR web site at http://www.ccr.gov. Please note that you must have a Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S) Number in order to begin the registration process in CCR. Building Strong
CCR continued … • If you do not have a D-U-N-S Number to begin the CCR registration process, you must contact Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). A D-U-N-S number is a unique 9-digit identification number that is assigned for each physical location of your business. D&B is the entity responsible for providing D-U-N-S Numbers. • D-U-N-S Number assignment is FREE for all businesses required to register with the US Federal government for contracts or grants. • You may request your D-U-N-S Number(s) online at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/pages/CCRSearch.jsp or by calling 1-866-705-5711. Building Strong
CCR continued … • For more information about CCR: • CCR Handbook, New Registration Screenshots & Renewal/Update Screenshots: http://www.ccr.gov/Handbook.aspx • CCR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): http://www.ccr.gov/FAQ.aspx Building Strong
Online Representations & Certifications (ORCA) • ORCA is an e-Government initiative that was designed to replace the paper based Representations and Certifications (Reps and Certs) process. • Prior to ORCA, vendors were required to submit Reps and Certs for each individual large purchase contract award. Now, using ORCA, a contractor can enter their Reps and Certs information once for use on all Federal contracts. • You must be registered in ORCA if the solicitation you are responding to requires that you have an active registration in CCR. • Note: CCR and ORCA are complementary systems. ORCA reuses data pulled from CCR and pre-populates many of the required Representations and Certifications. Then, the vendor completes the remaining Reps and Certs with the understanding that with each solicitation they are certifying to current, accurate and complete information. Building Strong
ORCA continued … • To log into ORCA, go to http://www.bpn.gov and click on “Online Reps and Certs Application.” • To complete your ORCA registration, you will need two items: (1) An active record in CCR and (2) A Marketing Pin Identification Number (MPIN) which can be retrieved from your active CCR record. • For an ORCA Handbook, please visit the following link: https://orca.bpn.gov/miscl/ORCA%20Handbook.pdf.

Small Business Resources • Small Business Administration (SBA) • Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) • Small Business Programs Building Strong
Small Business Administration (SBA) • Congress created the Small Business Administration in 1953, to "aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns.” SBA provides financial, technical and management assistance to help Americans start, run, and expand their businesses. • To learn more about the small business size standards that your firm must meet to be considered a Small Business, visit the SBA website at http://www.sba.gov/services/contractingopportunities/sizestandardstopics/summarywhatis/index.html. • Please note that if you are interested in receiving status as a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), HUBZone or 8(a) firm, you will need to contact the SBA to learn more about these programs and apply for certification.

Are you a Small Business? • To determine whether or not your firm can be considered a small business, SBA has established numerical definitions, or "size standards," for all for-profit industries. These standards are matched to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries. A size standard, which is usually stated in # of employees or average annual receipts, represents the largest size that a business (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may be to remain classified as a small business for SBA and Federal contracting programs. • To view SBA’s current Table of Small Business Size Standards, go to: http://www.sba.gov/contractingopportunities/officials/size/GC-SMALL-BUS-SIZE-STANDARDS.html. • Note: If a business exceeds the size standard for its overall industry group, it may still be a small business for its specific industry within that group; some industries have higher size standards than the general one for the industry group. Building Strong
Small Business Programs • If you qualify as a Small Business, you may also qualify for one of the following specific Small Business Programs developed by the SBA: • SBA’s 8(a) Program: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/8abd/index.html • SBA’s HUBZone Program: https://eweb1.sba.gov/hubzone/internet/index.cfm • SBA’s Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Program: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sdb/index.html • SBA’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Program: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/gc/programs/gc_service_disabled.html • SBA’s Office of Women’s Ownership Program: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/onlinewbc/index.html Building Strong

FBO.gov • FBO is the U.S. Government’s one-stop virtual marketplace. Through this single point-of-entry, commercial vendors and government buyers are invited to post, search, monitor and retrieve opportunities solicited by the entire Federal contracting community. • To simply view business opportunities, you do not need to be registered in FBO.gov; however, to download solicitation packages, you must register as a vendor in FBO.gov. • To register, you must have a DUNS number and active registration in CCR. For specific registration instructions, download the FBO.gov Vendor Guide at: https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf. Building Strong
SUB-Net • SUB-Net is the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Subcontracting Network. • Generally, SUB-Net is used by prime contractors to post subcontracting opportunities. These may or may not be reserved for small business, and they may include either solicitations or other notices -- for example, notices of sources sought for teaming partners and subcontractors on future contracts. • Small businesses can review this web site to identify opportunities in their specific areas of expertise: http://web.sba.gov/subnet/search/index.cfm?CFID=800601&CFTOKEN=b40135b4049abfca-4DD552D9-BBEA-3621-EE75A0611C2319C5&jsessionid=90301a47a0835cedee1a1d19336f1e796028 Building Strong
SBA’s Subcontracting Opportunities Directory • SBA obtains the names and addresses for their subcontracting opportunities directory from subcontracting plans that are submitted to the Government when a large business receives a Federal contract over $500,000 (over $1 million in construction). • To view the SBA’s Subcontracting Opportunities Directory, go to: http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/gc/contacts/gc_subcontracts_opportunities.html Building Strong
What should I do if I am interested in contracting with the Government as a prime contractor? • Register in CCR & ORCA • Contact SBA to learn more about small business programs you may qualify for. You may be eligible to compete for contracts that are set-aside for certain small business categories, or if you are an 8(a) or Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), you may be eligible for sole-source awards. • Familiarize yourself with FedBizOpps and other resources to locate prime contracting opportunities. • Download solicitation packages that you are interested in and familiarize yourself with the Government’s proposal submission requirements for various acquisitions.
