Help with SAM.gov in Spanish: where a Spanish-speaking owner can ask

Where a Spanish-speaking business owner gets help with a SAM.gov registration in Spanish: the free counseling offices SBA describes, what to ask each one, and which of Firmenza's own pages are in Spanish.

Updated

A Spanish-speaking owner can get free help with a SAM.gov registration from the counseling offices SBA describes, the Small Business Development Centers and SCORE mentors, and from APEX Accelerators, and some counselors in each network work in Spanish, so the question to ask when booking is whether the office can meet you in Spanish. SAM.gov's own registration screens are in English, and Firmenza's pages, guides, glossary, copilot and AI assistant are in Spanish through the language link on every page. The Federal Service Desk is the help desk for the system itself, and whether it can answer in Spanish is a question for the desk.

Is SAM.gov itself in Spanish?

No. SAM.gov presents the registration screens in English, so a reader working in Spanish meets English labels there whoever helps them. Is SAM.gov in Spanish? gives the plain meaning of the English words on those screens, and Firmenza's glossary defines the longer list in Spanish.

Where can I get help in Spanish with a registration?

From the free counseling offices SBA describes on its own pages. Small Business Development Centers provide counseling and training to small businesses, and SBA says they deliver individualized business advising and technical assistance, including on business planning, financial management and marketing. SCORE is a network of volunteer business mentors, and SBA says its mentors offer advice at no cost by email, telephone and video, with workshops and online courses besides. Both are found by ZIP code through SBA's local assistance search (SBA, resource partners).

Some counselors in each of those networks work in Spanish, and so do some at APEX Accelerators, the centers funded by the Department of Defense to counsel businesses on selling to the government. Which office near you can meet you in Spanish is for that office to say, so ask when you book. The free help that already exists says what each kind of office answers, and Where a Puerto Rico business gets free help covers the island, where the counseling runs in Spanish.

These offices are separate from one another and from Firmenza. Firmenza does not speak for any of them, none of them runs this site, and none of them charges for the counseling SBA describes.

What about the Federal Service Desk?

The Federal Service Desk is the help desk for SAM.gov itself: a question about a screen, an error or a ticket you already have belongs there, and it is free. Whether it can answer you in Spanish is a question for the desk, and this guide does not promise it. Questions about your own business, such as size status or affiliation, are for a counselor or an attorney wherever they are asked.

What does Firmenza offer in Spanish?

The whole site. The language link on any page switches Firmenza between English and Spanish, and signed in, your account page's Language setting does the same and our emails follow it. Every guide has a Spanish version at the same address, Firmenza's glossary defines the terms in Spanish, and the copilot asks SAM.gov's questions in Spanish, each explained in plain words, while the labels on sam.gov stay in English.

Ask Firmenza, the AI assistant on every page, answers in English or Spanish from Firmenza's own guides. The free health check and its report read in the language you chose, the reminders do too, and a person you add to a registration's reminders gets them in English or Spanish, as you choose for them. SAM.gov registration help says which kind of help answers which question.

What should I bring to a counselor?

A Firmenza health report, which reads the public SAM.gov record in your language and saves the first minutes of the appointment, and the glossary for any English word on a screen. Never the Login.gov password: nobody who helps you needs it, in any language, and a request for it tells you enough about the person asking.

What can this guide not tell you?

It cannot say which office near you has a Spanish-speaking counselor today, or whether the Federal Service Desk answers in Spanish. It read SBA's own pages on its resource partners, in English, and none of the offices' own pages, so each office's Spanish is for the office to confirm when you book.

Free help also exists: APEX Accelerators (DoD-funded, free) and the Federal Service Desk will help you at no charge. We built Firmenza to be useful alongside them.
