How it works

From idea to award, one step at a time

A clear path to winning government contracts — whether you're an established contractor or you haven't formed your business yet. Start wherever you are.

  1. 0

    Start before you're official

    No business yet? This is your on-ramp. Form your entity (LLC or corporation), get your EIN from the IRS, and pick the NAICS code(s) that describe what you'll sell. Then you're ready to register on SAM.gov. Meridian breaks each of these into small guided tasks you can do in minutes a day.
