I unintentionally reveal my age when I use terms such as EXPLETIVE DELETED which date back to the Nixon Administration.
Or when the first “Sam” that comes to mind is Sam Winston, known for selling tires.
Sadly, Sam Winston passed away in 1995…in an automobile accident, no less.
But today I’m using SAM as an acronym for System Award Management.
The SAM.gov website is a centralized location to inform businesses of U.S. federal government procurements, saving businesses the trouble of visiting every single agency to find bidding opportunities.
When I started in government proposal management my employer focused on state and local opportunities, but today Bredemarket concentrates on federal ones. As a result I scan SAM.gov regularly. Not for me, but for my clients.
And for the record, there is one famous Sam (other than Altman) who is known to 21st century audiences: Samuel L. Jackson. Although I don’t know if Sam has the temperament to manage proposals.
