# Buyer Channel Map
Where agencies look for small businesses. The order is not a ranking of how often each one is used. Have the item in the right column ready before you work the channel.

| # | Channel | How buyers use it | Have ready | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SAM.gov entity registration | Required to receive most awards; market research starts here | Active registration, accurate NAICS codes, reps and certs current | FAR 4.1102; sam.gov |
| 2 | SBA small business search (search.certifications.sba.gov) | Contracting staff search by NAICS, status and keywords to find set-aside candidates | A complete profile with keywords written the way a buyer searches | FAR 19.202-2; sba.gov |
| 3 | Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov | Sources sought, RFIs, presolicitations and solicitations over $25,000 are posted here | Saved searches by NAICS and agency; a capability statement to attach | FAR 5.101(a)(1), 5.201 |
| 4 | Sources sought and RFI responses | Market research that can decide whether a buy is set aside for small business | A short, specific response to every question asked, on time | FAR 15.201(c
