Discover actionable strategies to secure government and private sector security contracts through proven methods and USPA’s Certified Contractor Program.
Legislative Updates Pave the Way for Small Business Success
The NDAA FY24 introduces significant changes designed to empower small businesses, including those in the security sector. Highlights include enhanced inflation relief measures, faster payment protocols, and expanded small business participation requirements. For service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), participation goals have risen from 3% to 5%, creating more opportunities for firms to win lucrative contracts.
However, navigating the government procurement process isn’t without challenges. Contractors must adhere to stringent compliance requirements, such as conflict-of-interest certifications, detailed documentation, and adherence to government timelines. For many small firms, the complexity and financial strain of waiting for payment under traditional net terms—often 30, 60, or even 90 days—can make pursuing government contracts seem unattainable.
How USPA Helps Contractors Secure Contracts and Maintain Cash Flow
This is where USPA steps in to bridge the gap. Through its Certified Contractor Program, USPA takes the risk out of long payment cycles. Unlike traditional contracts, where payment delays can cripple cash flow, USPA ensures its partners are paid weekly. In fact, payments are processed just one day after invoices are submitted. This rapid turnaround gives smaller firms the financial stability they need to grow and invest in their operations.
“USPA’s Certified Contractor Program has been empowering security contractors for 20 years,” said Michael Evans, Founder of USPA. “We understand the challenges small businesses face, and we’re here to provide the financial and operational support they need to thrive in this competitive industry.”
Balancing Government and Private Sector Contracts
While government contracts offer stability and long-term opportunities, private sector contracts provide flexibility and faster execution. USPA helps contractors navigate both spaces by offering guidance on compliance, technology integration, and proposal development. By partnering with USPA, firms can pursue both government and private contracts confidently, knowing their cash flow and operational needs are secure.
