If you delegate registrations and compliance to your account success manager, the stated expectation is roughly six to eight weeks to be fully registered, compliant, and able to bid. SAM registration alone typically takes around six to eight weeks even when started immediately, which is why it is pushed as the very first priority — you cannot bid at all until you are in the systems.
Doing the work yourself with the courses and templates depends entirely on your own pace, and typically takes longer; completing all registrations commonly occupies the first two to three months of the program. Outside a structured program, the same journey was described as often taking years, because people do not know what they do not know.
Once your setup is complete, you can submit on any opportunity that fits your business — the remaining program months are for actively finding, evaluating, and bidding with mentor support. No timeline is promised for winning a contract itself, since that depends on your market, capability, and consistency.
