USFCR Marks 15 Years of Simplifying Federal Contracting: A Milestone Reflecting Continued Industry Leadership

US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR) Celebrates 15 Years of Simplifying Government Contracting.

(PRUnderground) August 12th, 2025

US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR) commemorates 15 years of helping businesses navigate the federal contracting landscape with ease. Established on July 20, 2010, USFCR has since supported over 300,000 businesses in navigating SAM registrations, and assisting companies in participating efficiently in the federal marketplace while supporting national objectives.

In an industry where regulations and compliance are numerous and often challenging, USFCR’s unwavering mission to simplify government contracting has earned it a reputation for providing a comprehensive suite of services designed to simplify the registration process for both small and large businesses alike. Their commitment to quality and customer service has helped clients avoid costly registration errors and overcome the challenges of federal program proceedings.

Over the years, having supported clients in securing more than $30 billion in federal contracts, USFCR has refined its approach to federal contracting—from assisting businesses with SAM registration and compliance to providing ongoing support through dedicated case managers, the firm has continuously set the standard for effective federal contracting support. In addition, USFCR offers government-specific services, such as optimizing profiles in the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) for qualified small businesses, as well as assisting businesses with the full spectrum of necessary certifications, including Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB/EDWOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB/SDVOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), Business Development Program 8(a), General Services Administration (GSA), Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA), and Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), formerly known as iRAPT.

A key highlight of the company’s success over the years has been the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP), an innovative platform that offers real-time contracting opportunities. APP integrates valuable data from sources such as FPDS, SAM, and other key government databases, providing clients with access to comprehensive government contracting insights in one place to help them stay ahead of the competition. Moreover, USFCR’s Simplified Acquisition Program (SAP), Bid Writing, and Grant Writing Services offer valuable tools and support for businesses looking to navigate the complexities of government procurement. USFCR also offers the Vendor Management & Compliance Program (VMP), which ensures that subcontractors meet federal requirements and helps prime contractors comply with SBA set-aside goals.

USFCR’s unique approach also includes the USFCR Verified Vendor Seal, a recognition that enhances credibility with contracting officers and prime contractors. This seal is one of the many ways USFCR sets itself apart from others, offering personalized and unmatched value to its clients.

As USFCR celebrates its 15th year in business, the company remains committed to its core mission: to empower businesses to succeed in the federal marketplace with ease and confidence. USFCR is more than just a service provider—it’s a trusted partner that works alongside its clients to ensure they are always a step ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of government contracting.

“We’re incredibly proud of the milestones we’ve achieved over the past 15 years,” said Eric Knellinger, President of USFCR. “What’s most rewarding is knowing that we’ve helped so many businesses thrive in the federal marketplace. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to simplifying government contracting and providing the support our clients need to succeed.”
