 How do I get started?

  • STEP 1: Obtain DUNS Number
  • STEP 2: Register with CCR

    • Make sure your organization is registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov. An authorizing official of your organization must register. You will need this for Step 3.

  • STEP 3: Username & Password

    • Complete your AOR (Authorized Organization Representative) profile on www.Grants.gov and create your username and password. You will need to use your organization’s DUNS Number to complete this step.

  • STEP 4: AOR Authorization
    •  The e-Business Point of contact (Biz POC) at your organization must login to www.Grants.gov to confirm you as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). Please note that there can be more than one AOR for your organization. In some cases the e-Biz POC is also the AOR for an organization.
  • STEP 5: TRACK YOUR STATUS

    • At any time, you can track your AOR status by logging in with your username and password. Login as an Applicant and enter your username and password that you obtained in Step 3.

I’m signed up and ready, now what?

  • Website http://www.recovery.org lists projects by state/county/city.  Zoom in on your region and research the specific projects listed. Some states have very good detail; others don’t.
  • Monitor the project posting activity at least weekly.

  • Contact the architect or engineer or city authority to get project planning details. Find out all you can about the projects that involve our industry in your area.

  • BID it, and contact Kele! We will help you price the project and win the bid!

Special considerations:

Products sold into Federally-funded jobs need to be made in the US unless the following is true: 

  • Reasonable commercial quantities of satisfactory quality alternative domestic products are not readily available. 
  • The cost of a domestic alternative increases the cost of the entire project by more than 25%. 
  • The selection of a non-domestic alternative is in the best interest of the public good. 
  • The total project cost exceeds $7,433,000, in which case products manufactured in countries with existing trade agreements may be used. 
  • The products are components of a larger product or assembly that is “manufactured” in the US. In this case, only the final assembly must meet the domestic manufacturing requirement. For example, a Kele custom panel which is assembled in the US complies.
