Many home healthcare business owners do the hard work of registering in SAM.gov, only to hit a wall: The CAGE Code. It’s the final "gatekeeper." If your CAGE code is stuck in "Pending" or "Expired" status, you are legally invisible to the government. You can see the contracts, you can prepare the bids, but you can’t actually hit "submit." Most people get stuck because of three simple things: - Address Mismatches: Your SAM address doesn't perfectly match your IRS or Secretary of State records. - The Validation Email: Missing the verification request from the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency). - Inactive Status: Letting the registration lapse, which can take weeks to re-activate. Every day your CAGE code isn't active, you’re leaving money on the table. You aren't just "waiting on paperwork", you’re missing opportunities that your competitors are winning by default.

The U.S. government sets aside part of its budget specifically for small businesses — billions every year. The problem is, no one really explains how to access it, so a lot of skilled people end up missing out. You don’t need a storefront or a new product. Sometimes it’s just about understanding how the system works and positioning yourself for the opportunities already there. Once you understand the contracting world, you stop chasing work — you start choosing it.
