How to Win Education Contracts
Winning contracts with Department of Education starts with understanding their procurement priorities and having a strong SAM.gov registration. Ensure your entity profile lists the NAICS codes relevant to Education's mission and that your capabilities statement highlights past performance in similar work.
If you hold small business certifications, look for set-aside opportunities from Education. These contracts limit competition to certified firms, giving you a significant advantage. Many Education contracts also use GSA Schedule vehicles and government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), so consider obtaining relevant contract vehicles.
