Hi Rachel, I'm not sure why. Try logging off and back on or double check your audio connection. Can everyone else hear ok?

I can hear.

I went to register on sam.gov and got to the "enter banking info". I was uneasy about this just starting out. Any thoughts?

I'll ask this question for you shortly.

Thanks for that question and answer

On the sam's registration, under the size metrics for worldwide annual receipts and employees, do they want an average answer for your type of business?

Sole Source Threshold is now $4.5M

Do you self certify the same way as previously if you’re interested in being a subcontractor?

We don’t have to go thru 3rd party certification companies right? Can we just do this ourselves if we are comfortable?

I hate to ask this, probably already been discussed while I was writing...How do I get Certified as a Women Owned Business?

ok thanks

Going through the 3rd party certifiers is an option. You can do it yourself.
