The Right Certification Unlocks Contracts You Can’t See Without It.
Set-aside contracts are reserved for certified businesses — and most small business owners don’t know they qualify. FEDCON identifies which certifications apply to you and handles the entire application from start to finish.

What You’re Leaving on the Table
The contracts exist. You just can’t access them yet.
The federal government spends over $700 billion annually on contracts. A significant portion is legally mandated to go to certified small businesses. Agencies that don’t hit their set-aside targets face scrutiny — meaning buyers are actively looking for certified vendors.
Most business owners assume the certification process is too complex or that they don’t qualify. Both are almost always wrong. The real issue is that no one has ever sat down with them and run through the actual eligibility criteria.
That’s exactly what a Market Assessment does. Before FEDCON submits a single form, your advisor reviews your ownership structure, business profile, and NAICS codes to confirm which certifications you qualify for and what each one is realistically worth to your pipeline.
Set-aside contracts are invisible to you
Contracting officers can only see and award set-aside opportunities to certified businesses. Without a certification, you don't exist in that search.
You're competing against the full market
Uncertified businesses bid against large companies with dedicated proposal teams. Certified businesses bid in a smaller, protected pool.
Every year without one is a year of lost awards
Certifications take time to process. The sooner you apply, the sooner you're in front of buyers who are required to award to businesses like yours.
Errors in the application restart the clock
Each rejection delays your approval by weeks or months. FEDCON submits clean applications the first time because your advisor has done this before.
