Ask FIME about your entry planWhat does FIME actually do?
FIME acts as a U.S. market-entry and business-development office for qualified international technology companies. Engagements can cover readiness assessment, entry planning, in-market business development, capture support, and partner or channel development.
Where should our company start?
Start with an introductory discussion. FIME reviews your established capability, home-market traction, and U.S. objective to determine whether a Phase I Market Readiness Assessment is appropriate.
Do we have to commit to all five phases?
No. Each phase is separately scoped, with a decision point before additional capital is committed. The next phase depends on your company's readiness, objectives, and the findings of the preceding work.
Can an international company compete for U.S. federal work?
Potential pathways depend on your product or service, country of origin, the purchasing agency, and the specific procurement. Eligibility and applicable restrictions need to be assessed for each opportunity. Direct contracting, teaming, and partner routes may require different approaches. Read the federal trade-agreement framework ↗
Is registering in SAM.gov enough to enter the market?
Registration is an administrative step, not a customer-acquisition strategy. SAM.gov distinguishes full registration for prime awards from obtaining only a Unique Entity ID. The route you pursue also needs relevant customer targets, positioning, relationships, and a plan to execute. Review official registration guidance ↗
How soon should we expect results?
Federal market development is a sustained effort. FIME's existing entry model uses a typical planning horizon of 12 to 24 months, with timing and milestones defined by the engagement. This is a planning horizon, not a promise of contract awards or revenue.
