The Federal Contractors Chamber of Commerce (FCCOC®) is expanding its membership structure to include a new class of Affiliate Sponsor Members—organizations whose expertise, services, workforce, education, or institutional resources support the federal contracting community. Affiliate Membership is designed to bring the broader federal acquisition ecosystem together under one professional network, creating opportunities for collaboration between contractors and the organizations that help them operate, compete, comply, and grow.

Eligible Affiliate Members include 

• Professional associations; trade associations; economic-development organizations; chambers of commerce; business incubators and accelerators; SBDC and business-development organizations; veteran and military organizations; workforce-training providers; 
• Labor unions and trade unions; 
• colleges and universities; community colleges; 
• law firms; procurement and government-contracting attorneys;
• accounting and CPA firms; 
• banks and financial institutions; 
• insurance and bonding companies; 
• commercial lenders; 
• staffing and workforce-development organizations; 
• engineering and architectural firms; 
• technology and cybersecurity companies; 
• consulting firms; 
• professional associations; trade associations; economic-development organizations; chambers of commerce; business incubators and accelerators; SBDC and business-development organizations; veteran and military organizations; workforce-training providers; 
• research institutions; 
• laboratories; 
• manufacturers; distributors; logistics companies; transportation providers; construction suppliers; 
• real-estate and facilities organizations; 
• other professional or institutional organizations that serve or support federal contractors.

Our Affiliate Sponsor Membership creates a structured platform for organizations that want to educate, support, connect with, or provide services to federal contractors without being required to operate as federal contractors themselves. 

Through our Affiliate Sponsor Membership,  FCCOC® intends to create opportunities for professional networking, educational collaboration, workshops, speaking engagements, workforce development, industry events, referrals, strategic relationships, and contractor-support initiatives. 

Affiliate Sponsor Members may also have opportunities to introduce their capabilities to  FCCOC® members, participate in appropriate  FCCOC® programs and events, and develop relationships with contractors seeking specialized expertise, services, talent, technology, financing, legal support, or other business resources.  Affiliate Partners have first rights to sponsorship opportunities as well as posting as a 

Dedicated Resource Partner. 

The creation of FCCOC® Affiliate Sponsor Membership reflects a simple principle: federal contractors do not operate in isolation. Successful participation in the federal marketplace requires an ecosystem of legal, financial, educational, workforce, technical, professional, and industrial resources.  FCCOC® is building a network that recognizes that reality—connecting contractors with the organizations that help make federal contracting possible. Affiliate Sponsor Membership is therefore not simply an additional membership category; it is an opportunity to become part of the broader Federal Contracting Ecosystem™.
