Before you apply
Confirm you qualify for SAM.gov before you start the application.
SAM.gov certification takes weeks to process and a rejection adds weeks to the queue. The quiz cross-checks your ownership, location, revenue, and structure against SAM.gov's eligibility rules and every other certification you might qualify for, so you can sequence applications instead of repeating the same paperwork.
