Small business certifications are the highest-leverage accelerator for Superior Township businesses entering government contracting. 8(a) certification, SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business), and HUBZone certification each open access to contract set-asides that competitors without those certifications simply cannot bid on. The federal government mandates that certain percentages of contract value go to each certification category. CodeWCG assesses every Superior Township client for certification eligibility and pursues all applicable certifications alongside the standard SAM.gov setup — because certifications can cut years off the path to first contract.
Government contracting proposal writing is a specific discipline where most Superior Township businesses underperform. Federal proposals have strict formatting requirements, evaluation criteria that must be directly addressed, and volume limits that require strategic compression. A technically excellent Ann Arbor business can lose a contract to a less capable competitor simply because their proposal didn't address the evaluation factors in the right format.
CodeWCG provides proposal support for Superior Township businesses in Michigan: reviewing solicitations, developing compliance matrices, writing compliant responses to evaluation factors, and reviewing final drafts against evaluation criteria before submission. For competitive contracts in University of Michigan and Technology & Startups, proposal quality is often the deciding factor between award and loss.

Gov Contracting Near Superior Township — FAQ
Does my Superior Township business qualify for government contracts?
Most small businesses in Ann Arbor do. The key qualifiers are SAM.gov registration, a valid UEI number, and the right NAICS codes for your services. Additional certifications (8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB) can expand your eligibility for set-aside contracts. We assess your specific situation in the discovery call.
How long does SAM.gov registration take?
The registration process itself takes 1-2 weeks if you have all required information. Maintenance and annual renewal are required to keep your registration active. We handle the full process — initial registration through approval — and set up renewal reminders so you don't accidentally lapse.
What is a capability statement and do I need one?
A capability statement is a 1-2 page document that introduces your business to federal contracting officers. Think of it as a federal-buyer-specific resume for your company. It lists your core competencies, differentiators, past performance, and key business data. Yes, you need one. We write and design it.
Are there government contracts specifically for Ann Arbor businesses?
Both federal contracts and state/local contracts are available to Ann Arbor businesses. Many federal agencies have regional offices that procure locally. State and local government in Ann Arbor have separate procurement processes we can also help you navigate. We identify which levels make the most sense for your specific business.
