US Federal Contractor Registration Helps Another Business Win Government Contracts

US Federal Contractor Registration Helps Another Business Win Government Contracts











St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Eric Knellinger, President of US Federal Contractor Registration, announced yesterday that yet another client has succeeded in government contracting after working with the third party registration firm. Chris Weyrick was recently awarded a contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs after working with US Federal Contractor Registration to complete his CCR and ORCA registration. The $ 354,575 contract grants Weyrick the opportunity to perform on-site inscription services at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

Weyrick’s company Rock Crazy is a small business based in Wapello, IA and performs custom stone engraving services.

Over $ 11 billion in government contracts have been awarded since the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year on October 1st, according to the USASpending website. Over 13% of that $ 11 billion has been awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Headstones, markers and niche covers are furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration for deceased veterans worldwide. The contract awarded to Chris Weyrick is for inscription services for these headstones, markers and niche covers.

US Federal Contractor Registration completed Chris Weyrick’s CCR registration and ORCA filing in September of 2011.

The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery is located approximately 50 miles south of Chicago in Elwood, IL. It was dedicated as the 117th national cemetery within the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. President Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States; he signed the law authorizing national cemeteries in the United States on July 17, 1862. Once fully developed, the cemetery will provide 400,000 burial spaces.

The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center has estimated that nearly 20% of CCR records errors or omissions. It is extremely important that contractors’ CCR and ORCA registration are complete and accurate. Failure to complete and maintain the required government registrations can result in payment delays or disqualification for contract awards. Serious errors may even result in fines or punitive action. To win their first contract, most businesses spend an average of 20 months and $ 100,000 marketing their business to contracting agencies. If their registration is incomplete or incorrect, all that time and money will have been wasted.

To help small businesses avoid costly errors, US Federal Contractor Registration is offering a free evaluation and review of vendors’ government registration, including their CCR registration and ORCA filing. During the evaluation, a Placement Specialist will review the company’s government contractor registration to ensure it is complete, contains the correct information and is optimized to help them win government contracts. To receive this free evaluation, interested businesses should contact the toll free Contractor Helpline at #877-252-2700. Placement Specialists can also prepare a free government contracting profitability assessment to help business owners review government spending trends within their industry and identify current contracting opportunities. Since the company was founded in 2010 by Eric Knellinger, thousands of businesses have turned to US Federal Contractor Registration to get help completing their registration and winning government contracts.

US Federal Contractor Registration is a third party registration firm that has helped thousands of businesses complete their CCR registration and bid on contracts.

There is no differentiation, all financial aid is lumped together and taken out of the bill, which is also lumped together, they are not individually applied to your account in order. If there is anything leftover you get it.

Federal Fund Management Advisor Announces Its First Webinar on November 14

Federal Fund Management Advisor Announces Its First Webinar on November 14










Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

Federal Fund Management Advisor is pleased to announce the first program in a new, ongoing series of webinars addressing a wide variety of grants management topics. Cost Allowability 101, which will be held November 14, will provide an overview of the key policies that cut across all of the federal “cost principles.” For more information see webinar details at http://federalfundmanagement.com/webinars/wg101_111411.

The rules for determining what costs can be charged to the government, which ones cannot be charged, and how the costs are to be documented for federal grants and contracts are neither crystal clear nor a short enjoyable read. Just the fact that there are five different sets of “cost principles” that apply to different types of award performers causes enough confusion.

But, regardless of the density and diversity, staff members of the organizations that receive and administer those federal awards must be familiar with the principles to help avoid costly disallowances and other adverse consequences. And that’s not just the people who work in the finance department. Program staff members, research investigators, support personnel, and internal auditors all need a sufficient awareness of the specific cost principles that apply to their type of organization and the ability to find defensible answers to cost allowability questions.

Webinar participants will learn the details of:


The universe of federal cost principles
Applicability to federal awards and subawards
The concept of total recovery under an award
The distinction between direct and indirect (or facility and administrative) costs
How applicable credits work
The general tests of allowability that apply to every charge to a federal award
The “selected” items of cost and why they were selected
Guidance on interpretation of allowability for individual items of cost
Allowability of common “big ticket” items

The webinar will be presented by Bob Lloyd, a respected authority on policies and practices affecting the award, administration and oversight of federal grants and contracts. He has nearly 40 years of experience in federal fund management. Prior to starting his management consulting practice in Washington, D.C., in 1982, he served as executive director of the Grants Management Advisory Service. Earlier, he held senior staff positions in two large federally funded organizations. Since forming his practice, he has served under contract to sixteen major federal award-making departments and agencies and as a consultant, trainer or advisor to recipients, subrecipients and their professional advisors located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and 18 foreign countries. He has delivered hundreds of training courses on federal fund management topics and has served as principal author or contributor for seven professional reference services.

After a 60-minute presentation, a concluding 30-minute question-and-answer session will allow webinar participants to pose individual questions to Mr. Lloyd.
