How RickerTime Works
A Clear Path from Business Preparation to Opportunity Research
Government contracting involves multiple stages. RickerTime provides professional services and resources for business preparation, registration and certification application processing, and contracting-opportunity research.
Businesses may engage RickerTime at the stage that matches their current needs. Completion of one stage does not guarantee eligibility, approval, a solicitation, a contract award, or government revenue.
Stage 1 of 3
Establish Your Business Identity
Establish and maintain an appropriate business foundation before pursuing government registrations and contracting opportunities. Depending on the business's needs, this may include a professional domain, business email, accurate entity information, and consistent records.
A professional domain email can support consistent business presentation and recordkeeping, but it is not a universal government requirement and does not guarantee eligibility or contracts.
Online purchasing is not yet available. To inquire about this service, call 877-755-0002 or contact RickerTime.
Stage 2 of 3
Get Certified
Pursue applicable registrations or certification programs. RickerTime processes selected applications according to the purchased scope using information and documentation provided by the customer.
Certification requirements differ by program and certifying organization. Final eligibility and approval decisions remain with the applicable organization.
Stage 3 of 3
Find Contract Opportunities
Research federal, state, county, local, and related contracting opportunities aligned with the business's capabilities, qualifications, location, codes, and experience.
RickerTime Bids provides access to contracting-opportunity information available through the platform. Database access does not guarantee eligibility, a response, a bid, or an award.
What Happens After Purchase
Purchase Confirmation
The customer receives confirmation of the purchased service, price, and stated scope.
Intake and Document Collection
RickerTime requests the information and documentation needed for the purchased service. Customers are responsible for providing complete, accurate, current, and truthful information.
Processing
RickerTime reviews and processes the materials included in the purchased scope. Timing depends on the service, customer responsiveness, document completeness, and applicable third-party systems.
Submission or Delivery
When included and authorized, RickerTime submits the processed application to the applicable organization or delivers the completed work product to the customer.
Third-Party Review or Customer Use
Government agencies and certifying organizations control their own review, requests for additional information, processing times, and decisions. Customers remain responsible for using delivered materials and evaluating contracting opportunities.
Customer Responsibilities
To keep processing moving, customers should provide requested information and documentation promptly, review materials when requested, disclose relevant changes, and monitor communications from government agencies and certifying organizations.
RickerTime may rely on information provided by the customer and is not responsible for delays or outcomes caused by missing, inaccurate, outdated, inconsistent, or misleading customer information.
