Do you need a physical office to bid on federal contracts?

Physical presence requirements: **SAM.gov Registration:** - Physical address required - P.O. Box alone not acceptable - Home address is acceptable for small businesses - Must be validated in registration **Contract-Specific Requirements:** - Some require local presence - On-site work may need nearby location - Certain set-asides have location rules (HUBZone) - Facility clearances need physical space **Remote Business Considerations:** - Many services can be performed remotely - IT/professional services often location-flexible - Solicitation will state place of performance - COVID expanded remote work acceptance **Best Practices:** - Read solicitation place of performance - Consider virtual office for presence - Ensure address validates in SAM - Be prepared for on-site visits
