Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about GovSimplex and how to prepare for federal government contracting.

1

What is GovSimplex and how does it help my business?

GovSimplex is a bilingual platform designed to help Hispanic-owned businesses prepare for federal government contracting. We offer tools like SAM.gov assessments, professional Capability Statement generation, and certification discovery to find certifications you may qualify for.

2

Do I need to be registered on SAM.gov to use GovSimplex?

No, you can start using GovSimplex before registering on SAM.gov. In fact, our SAM.gov Assessment tool is designed to help you prepare all the information you'll need to complete your registration successfully.

3

What is a Capability Statement and why do I need one?

A Capability Statement is a one or two-page document that summarizes your company's capabilities, experience, and credentials. It's essential for government contracting marketing - contracting officers and prime contractors use it to evaluate whether your company can meet their needs.

4

What certifications might my business qualify for?

Depending on your business, you may qualify for certifications like 8(a) for disadvantaged businesses, WOSB/EDWOSB for women-owned businesses, HUBZone for specific locations, SDVOSB/VOSB for veterans, and SDB for small disadvantaged businesses. Our Certification Discovery tool analyzes your profile to identify your best options.

5

How much does GovSimplex cost?

We offer a free forever plan with basic access to all tools. Our Starter plan is $49/month and includes unlimited assessments and Capability Statement exports. The Professional plan at $149/month includes advanced certification discovery and priority support.

6

Why does GovSimplex focus on Hispanic businesses?

Hispanic businesses represent 15% of all U.S. businesses, but receive less than 5% of federal contracts. We believe language barriers shouldn't prevent businesses from accessing government opportunities. That's why we built a truly bilingual platform from day one.

7

Can I use GovSimplex in Spanish?

Yes! GovSimplex is fully available in both Spanish and English. You can switch languages at any time using the selector at the top of the page. All our generated documents, including Capability Statements, can be created in both languages.

8

How long does it take to prepare for government contracting?

With GovSimplex, you can complete your SAM.gov assessment in about 20 minutes. Generating a professional Capability Statement takes just a few minutes more. Full SAM.gov registration typically takes 2-4 weeks once you have all your documentation ready.

9

Does GovSimplex guarantee I'll win contracts?

We can't guarantee contracts - that depends on many factors including your capabilities, pricing, and competition. What we do guarantee is that you'll be better prepared to compete. Our tools help you present your company professionally and find the right certifications to improve your opportunities.
