Step 2 of 3
Certification Application Processing
RickerTime processes one selected WOSB, WBE, SDVOSB, VBE, DBE, or MBE certification application. Eligibility and final approval are determined solely by the applicable certifying organization.
Step 2 in the journey
Certification Application Processing — One Selected Application, Done for You.
RickerTime is a private company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Government or any certifying organization. Eligibility and final approval are determined solely by the applicable certifying organization.
The federal government sets aside billions of dollars in contracts specifically for small businesses, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and other designated groups. But you can only access those opportunities if you're registered and certified correctly.
Step 2 is about getting you into the system — SAM.gov registration and one selected certification application processed by RickerTime. Eligibility and final approval are determined solely by the applicable certifying organization.

NAICS Code Strategy
Choosing the right NAICS codes determines which contracts you're eligible for. We help you select the codes that best represent your work and maximize your opportunities.
Why this step matters
Certified Businesses Compete for Contracts Others Can't Even See.
- Certifications unlock set-aside contracts — opportunities reserved exclusively for businesses like yours.
- Many prime contractors actively seek certified small business subcontractors to meet their own requirements.
- Getting certified before you start searching for contracts puts you in a stronger position from day one.
- Errors in SAM.gov or certification applications can delay or disqualify you — we prevent that.
