Claiming your company
Take control of your company's profile and get the Verified badge — free for every company.
Your company already has a FedScope profile, whether you made one or not — it is built from the public federal record. Claiming it means proving you represent the company, so you can control how it appears and show a Verified badge to primes checking you out.
Claiming and verification are free. You never need a paid plan.
How claiming works
Choose it from its official federal record, so there is no doubt which company you mean.
Not you — the contact already published in the company's government record.
That contact approves the request, and your company profile is yours to manage.
If that does not work
No usable contact in the record, someone else already claimed the company, or a disputed request — a person at FedScope reviews it by hand and may call your company on a number we look up ourselves. A number you give us is not enough on its own.
The important part: FedScope emails the contact already published in your company's official registration, not whatever address you type in. That is what makes the badge worth something.
Why a work email is not enough
Email domains can be faked, and an employee is not automatically authorized to speak for a company. A matching work email helps your case, but it never grants ownership by itself.
If your registration has no usable contact email, someone already claimed your company, or the request is disputed, a person at FedScope reviews it by hand. For higher-risk cases we may confirm by calling your company on a number we look up independently — a number supplied by the person making the claim does not count.
Once the first owner is established, that owner (or an admin they appoint) invites colleagues and sets their roles.
What Verified means
It means: FedScope confirmed that whoever controls this profile has authority through the company's official government-record channel.
It does not mean: that FedScope endorses the company, guarantees it is currently registered or eligible, or has checked any individual's legal identity.
Individual facts on a profile carry their own labels, so you can tell them apart at a glance:
| What you see | Where it came from |
|---|---|
| An award | The official federal record |
| A certification | An official registry, labeled with its source |
| A capability description | The company itself, labeled self-reported |
The badge is a starting point for your due diligence, not a replacement for it.
Why bother claiming
- Be found accurately. Primes vetting partners see your record presented the way you intend, with a badge showing the profile is genuinely controlled by your company.
- Share performance evidence. Verified companies can use the past-performance vault to share evidence with one partner at a time, and take it back whenever they want.
- Your record is already public either way. Your award history and teaming relationships come from the public record whether or not you claim. Claiming lets you add the context.
- See who is looking. Turn on a weekly digest showing how often your company appeared in other people's partner searches — counts only, never who searched or what they typed.
A real example
A small manufacturer noticed a prime had viewed its unclaimed profile. The owner claimed the company, verified through the email in its registration record, and added a capabilities summary. The award evidence underneath was already there — claiming just let them frame it.
