FAMR | Federal Award Management Registration Services

FAMR, independent federal registration and certification consultancy in Tampa

FAMR (Federal Award Management Registration Services) is an independent consulting firm based in Tampa, Florida, dedicated to helping businesses access the U.S. federal marketplace. Its work focuses on federal supplier registration, obtaining government certifications, and support with public procurement processes.

The firm presents itself as a partner for organizations seeking federal funding, contract work opportunities, or disaster relief program aid, and that need guidance through procedures that, according to its own description, require dozens of hours of management.

SAM registration and renewal

The main service consists of handling registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), a requirement to receive government funding, contracts, and federal grants. The firm also manages the periodic renewal of that registration and obtaining the CAGE code, necessary to operate as a federal government supplier.

Federal and state certifications

FAMR assists organizations that meet certain requirements—such as being a small business or being owned by U.S. veterans—in processing certifications that expand their access to opportunities in the public and private sectors. Its catalog includes:

• WOSB/EDWOSB certification (women-owned businesses)
• VOSB/SDVOSB certification (veteran-owned businesses)
• HUBZone certification
• 8(a) certification
• DBE certification
• GSA certification
• State certifications
• MBE certification (minority-owned businesses)

Federal contracting assistance

In addition to registration and certifications, the company offers positioning services so that organizations are visible to federal contracting officers. This section includes preparing capability statements, managing the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) profile, and bid writing services.

The firm also has the OptiTrax AI Portal, a proprietary tool aimed at managing these opportunities.

Federal market context

In its pitch, FAMR cites data from the U.S. federal market: the government is the country's largest buyer of goods and services, with spending exceeding $5.4 trillion in fiscal year 2019. According to the firm, $683 billion was awarded in fiscal year 2020, 23% of federal contracts must be awarded to certified small businesses, contracts under $150,000 are automatically set aside for small businesses, and 70% of these obtain preferential contract acquisitions and bids.

Client profile and service approach

FAMR targets small businesses, women-, veteran-, and minority-owned businesses, and organizations located in HUBZones that want to operate as federal government suppliers. The firm describes its method as step-by-step support with specialists who advise throughout the entire registration, certification, or marketing process with agencies and contracting officers.
