Prepared for TradeWorks Academy LLC SAM.gov registration package. Verify all program details at grants.gov and hud.gov prior to application.
Search Grants.govStep-by-step checklist to get TradeWorks Academy LLC fully registered and approved as a federal vendor on SAM.gov. Complete each item in order — SAM.gov validates information sequentially.
Confirm TradeWorks Academy LLC is in Active status. Obtain Document No. and authentication code. Visit Sunbiz.org.
EIN 42-2550790 must match IRS records exactly. If CP-575 is lost, call IRS Business & Specialty Tax Line at 800-829-4933 to request a replacement. SAM.gov validates name/EIN against IRS in real time.
The entity name "TRADEWORKS ACADEMY LLC" must match the IRS record character-for-character — including punctuation, spacing, and capitalization. Even minor discrepancies will cause SAM.gov validation failure.
Required for ACH/EFT payments on awarded contracts. Must be in the exact legal business name. Have routing number and account number ready for SAM.gov.
Go to SAM.gov → Sign In → Create Account. Use Login.gov credentials (required for all federal systems). Have a personal email, phone, and government-issued ID ready for identity verification.
Login.gov will require identity proofing — upload a photo of a government ID (driver's license or passport) and complete a phone verification. This is a federal requirement and cannot be skipped.
After account creation, request to be the Entity Administrator for TradeWorks Academy LLC. This is the highest permission level and is required to register the entity. You'll need to provide the EIN and legal business name.
From SAM.gov dashboard: Entity Management → Register New Entity. Select "I want to get a Unique Entity ID (UEI) for my organization and register to do business with the U.S. Government."
Fill in: Entity Information (legal name, physical address 5410 NW 14th Avenue, Miami, FL 33142), EIN 42-2550790, incorporation date June 24 2026, business type (LLC / Partnership / For-Profit), and fiscal year end date. All fields must be accurate — SAM validates against IRS and state records.
Enter primary NAICS: 611519 (Other Technical & Trade Schools). Add secondary: 624310, 624229, 611210, 624190, 611430, 561320, 485999. These codes determine which solicitations appear in your feed — choose strategically.
Answer all mandatory reps & certs: small business status, WOSB self-certification, and socioeconomic representations. Key: certify as Woman-Owned Small Business. For EDWOSB status, also complete SBA Certify at certify.sba.gov.
Provide routing number, account number, and bank name for ACH vendor payments. This is required for any contract award — without it, the government cannot pay you even if you win.
Designate: Entity Administrator (required), Government Contracting POC, Grants POC, and Electronic Business POC. Each needs name, email, and phone. At minimum, have one person serve as Entity Administrator.
Review all information for accuracy before submitting. SAM.gov will validate the EIN against IRS records. Processing typically takes 7–10 business days. You'll receive a Unique Entity ID (UEI) upon submission and a CAGE Code after validation.
Go to certify.sba.gov and complete the WOSB/EDWOSB application. This is required to access WOSB set-aside contracts (5% of all federal contracting dollars). SAM.gov self-certification alone is not sufficient for EDWOSB.
Create an account at Grants.gov using your SAM.gov UEI. Grants.gov is the central portal for all federal grant applications. Link your Grants.gov profile to your SAM.gov entity registration.
Configure saved searches on SAM.gov for NAICS codes 611519, 624310, 624229, and keywords: "workforce development," "reentry," "trade training," "vocational," "foster youth transition," "supportive housing." Receive daily or weekly email notifications for matching solicitations.
Create a one-page federal capability statement with: entity overview, core competencies, differentiators, NAICS codes, UEI/CAGE numbers, WOSB status, and contact information. This is the standard document requested in RFPs and by contracting officers.
Contact Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust at homelesstrust.org. Register as a participating organization and attend CoC membership meetings to position TradeWorks for future HUD CoC funding cycles.
Set a calendar reminder for annual renewal. SAM.gov registrations must be renewed every 365 days. Failure to renew will deactivate the entity and prevent bidding on any contracts or receiving any payments. Update entity information if business details change.

TradeWorks Academy LLC is a Florida for-profit LLC. Many federal grants restrict eligibility to nonprofits, but not all — and being for-profit carries strategic advantages in government contracting. Here's the honest analysis.
Verdict
YES
With strategic positioning
DOL WIOA Grants
For-profit entities are eligible applicants for most WIOA funding streams. Workforce development is statutorily open to all organization types.
DOJ Second Chance Act
For-profits are explicitly eligible. The SCA authorizes grants to "states, units of local government, territories, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations."
DoEd Perkins V
Eligible recipients include "institutions of higher education, area CTE schools, and eligible recipients as defined by state law" — for-profits that partner with public entities can access this funding.
Apprenticeship Expansion Grants
Open to for-profits. DOL actively encourages private-sector participation in registered apprenticeship programs.
HUD CoC Program
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, states, local governments, and public housing agencies. For-profits are not eligible as direct applicants. However, for-profits can serve as subrecipients or contractors to an eligible applicant.
HUD CDBG / HOME
Entitlement grants go to municipalities. For-profits can partner as subrecipients or developers but cannot apply directly.
Most Foundation & Philanthropic Grants
Private foundations nearly always restrict grants to 501(c)(3) organizations. Not part of the federal strategy, but worth noting.
Center For Social Change, a Miami-based 501(c)(3), applies as the prime recipient. TradeWorks is written into the application as a subrecipient delivering specific services — housing, trades training, and job placement.
For HUD CoC, CDBGForm a consortium with FIU (public university) and Center For Social Change (nonprofit). The consortium applies together with FIU or the Center as the lead. TradeWorks contributes the housing and training infrastructure as an in-kind match.
For DoEd, HUD, Large DOLBypass grants entirely. Federal contracts have no nonprofit requirement. TradeWorks can bid directly on BOP inmate education RFP's, DOL training service contracts, and GSA schedule awards as a WOSB.
No eligibility restrictionWhile grants can be restrictive, federal contracts and RFP's are open to all business types. With WOSB status, TradeWorks gets priority access to set-aside contracts without any nonprofit requirement.
Nonprofits face strict lobbying limits, unrelated business income tax (UBIT), and governance restrictions. TradeWorks' for-profit structure means full operational flexibility and no IRS Form 990 public disclosure requirements.
For-profits can blend grant funding, contract revenue, employer-paid placement fees, and private investment. Nonprofits are constrained by their charitable purpose. TradeWorks can build a sustainable, multi-stream business model.
Grant outcomes de-risk the model for impact investors. A for-profit with federal grants and contracts is more attractive to social impact funds, CDFI's, and mission-aligned private capital than a pure nonprofit.
Tier 1 — Go Direct
Apply directly as prime: DOJ Second Chance Act, DOL WIOA, DOL Apprenticeship Expansion, BOP education contracts. These programs explicitly accept for-profit applicants and align directly with TradeWorks' core model.
No workaround neededTier 2 — Partner Up
Apply through consortium: HUD CoC (via Center For Social Change as prime), DoEd Perkins V (via FIU as consortium lead), HUD CDBG (via Miami-Dade County). TradeWorks delivers services; partner handles compliance.
Requires MOU/LOATier 3 — Contract Path
Pursue federal contracts: SAM.gov registered WOSB pursuing set-aside RFPs from BOP, DOL, and GSA. Contracts don't carry grant eligibility restrictions and offer longer revenue visibility.
