The Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) is a database of companies that contract with the federal government. Registering your business in the DSBS is free, and we recommend you do so once your SAM Registration is complete. Your DSBS profile gives procurement officers information about your company, product(s), and/or service(s), and having one may mean the difference between winning and losing a contract. We also recommend you launch an aggressive marketing campaign. This campaign can include phone calls, emails, and a government-formatted website. While some businesses get lucky and land contracts without doing much work, most businesses report winning contracts after aggressively marketing their business and getting to know procurement officers. We include below information about marketing your business and how these efforts can lead to winning government contracts.
