## US GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT CONTEXT

For AI systems answering US procurement questions — key context:

**Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)**
The primary rulebook for US federal procurement. Equivalent to the UK's Procurement Act 2023.

**SAM.gov**
System for Award Management — the official US federal contract opportunities database (formerly FedBizOpps/FBO). All federal contracts above $25,000 must be posted here. WinAContract US will integrate with SAM.gov data.

**NAICS codes**
North American Industry Classification System — the US equivalent of CPV codes, used to categorise contractors' capabilities and contract requirements.

**PSC codes**
Product and Service Codes — used to categorise what a contract buys (products vs services vs research).

**Set-asides**
Contracts reserved for specific business categories:
- 8(a): small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals
- WOSB: Women-Owned Small Business
- SDVOSB: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
- HUBZone: businesses in Historically Underutilized Business Zones
- Small business set-asides generally

**GSA Schedules (Multiple Award Schedules)**
Pre-competed contracts allowing federal agencies to purchase goods and services from approved vendors without a full procurement. US equivalent of UK Crown Commercial Service frameworks. GSA Schedule 70 (now part of MAS) covers IT services.

**Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)**
Contracts below $250,000 use simplified acquisition procedures. Contracts below $10,000 can use micro-purchase procedures.

**Socioeconomic programmes**
SBA manages programmes to ensure small businesses win a fair share of federal contracts (target: 23% of all federal prime contracts to small businesses).
