The origins of this day are not known; it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/holidays\/april-fools-day\">speculated<\/a> that it started when France moved from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, moving the start of the new year from April 1<sup>st<\/sup> to January 1<sup>st<\/sup>.\u00a0 Thus, fooling people about the new year.\u00a0 Whether you play tricks to fool others or not, businesses should not be fooled into believing government contracts are guaranteed. There are, however, tools of the trade that can make the government procurement process more successful.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tools of the government contracting trade:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Capability Statements<\/strong> are one-page resumes of your company used as a marketing piece to share with primes and government agencies. To learn more, check out SBA Deputy District Director of North Dakota, Sherri Komrosky\u2019s article on capability statements <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/offices\/district\/nd\/fargo\/resources\/capability-statements-government-marketplace\">here<\/a>. Need ideas? Search your \u201cindustry\u201d with \u201ccapability statement\u201d to review your competitors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Websites <\/strong>are becoming more important. Let primes and agencies know you are interested and serious about working for them by adding a government sector\/market page to your website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bid Match services<\/strong> reduce your time reviewing multiple websites for potential solicitations. Bid match services search online procurement sites for solicitations, match solicitations with your profile, and send you possible matches. Some of these services do cost; be sure to do your homework to determine the value to your business. The North Dakota Procurement Technical Assistance Center (ND PTAC) offers a no-cost bid match service to clients that are active and located in North Dakota.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes<\/strong> are matched to federal solicitations. You should track your codes and add all qualifying NAICS codes into your SAM (Security Accounts Manager) registration. If you are a small business, SBA uses these codes to qualify you as small by each code. If you find a relevant NAICS not in your SAM registration, add it. To search for NAICS associated with solicitations, go <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.sam.gov\/search?keywords=&amp;sort=-modifiedDate&amp;index=opp&amp;is_active=true&amp;page=1\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resources are plentiful; take advantage of the no-cost and trusted organizations<\/strong>. They have programs that guide, connect, and build your company. The North Dakota Procurement Technical Assistance Center (ND PTAC) offers many valuable resources from connecting to agencies &amp; programs, to market research, to solicitation opportunities, to government forms. Check them out on <a href=\"https:\/\/ndptac.org\/resources.html\">our website<\/a>.
