Before TIKC, SAM.gov felt like trying to read a foreign language. They handled everything and kept us updated the whole time. We were registered and active within two weeks.

Our first proposal with TIKC's team won a $220,000 contract. We submitted five proposals on our own before that and never heard back. The difference is night and day.

Questions before you call
Straight answers to common first questions.
Where should my business start?
Most firms start with registration: an active SAM.gov registration is needed before federal awards. If you are already registered, the six-question worksheet gives a preliminary read on certifications worth reviewing, and a free strategy call helps you decide what to investigate next.
What should I prepare before a call?
Your legal business name, SAM.gov status and UEI if you have one, a rough picture of who owns and controls the business, the kinds of work or NAICS codes you want to pursue, and the questions you most want answered.
I’m already registered in SAM.gov. Is there anything left to do?
Registration makes you visible and eligible to be paid, but it is not a certification. Next steps are often reviewing your DSBS profile, checking which set-aside certifications may fit, and finding opportunities matched to your codes.
Will I definitely qualify for a set-aside?
No one can promise that in advance. The worksheet and any advisory read are preliminary; final eligibility is decided by SBA or the certifying body after reviewing your complete application. HUBZone support is pending confirmation at TIKC.
Does SAM.gov registration cost money?
Registering in SAM.gov is free from the U.S. government. TIKC’s registration support is an optional paid service for businesses that want help completing it correctly.
