Federal Purchasing Online contains ads from pre-qualified small businesses that are registered and ready to do business with the government. Our online directory is used in conjunction with the Federal Small Business Set-Asides (SBSA) Program in which Federal acquisition regulations dictate that any federal expenditure under $100,000.00 must be awarded to a small business. The Federal Small Purchase Program cap has risen from $25,000.00 to $100,000.00. Any Federal expenditure of $6,500 or less can be transacted over the telephone by credit card.
