Questions

Are you part of the government?

No. Set-Aside Desk is an independent private service. We are not affiliated with SAM.gov, the SBA or any federal agency. Registering in SAM and bidding are always free, and you never need us to do either.

Where do the opportunities come from?

From public contract opportunities posted on SAM.gov. We filter them by your NAICS codes and set-aside type and remove what doesn't fit, so you only read what matters.

Who is this for?

Small businesses that already sell, or want to sell, to federal agencies. We started with IT services (NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519) and are adding more industries.

What exactly is the monthly proposal draft?

You choose one opportunity from your list. We read the solicitation and write a first draft of the technical response, organized by the evaluation criteria. You review it, add your pricing and past performance, and submit it yourself.

Do you guarantee I'll win contracts?

No one can. We save you the search time and help you start proposals faster. Award decisions are made by the agencies.

How do I cancel?

Reply to any email or write to hello@setasidedesk.com. There's no contract and no cancellation fee.
