Frequently asked questions

How do I win City of Palo Alto contracts as a small business?

Register in SAM.gov with a UEI, confirm your NAICS codes match the solicitation, and check the set-aside on each notice. City of Palo Alto posts opportunities on SAM.gov; Themis surfaces them with a free AI brief and a fit + eligibility check so you can decide bid / no-bid fast.

Does City of Palo Alto use set-asides?

Set-asides (Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB) are applied per solicitation, not per agency, under FAR Part 19. Each City of Palo Alto notice declares its own eligibility class; Themis shows it on every card and warns you when a set-aside needs a certification you haven't listed.

Do I need a SAM.gov registration to bid?

Yes — every federal award above the micro-purchase threshold requires an active SAM.gov registration with a UEI and the relevant NAICS codes listed on the registration.
