Government contracting?

Curious if anyone here has any insight or success stories on government contracting as a single person co. Can be any area but I’m specifically targeting systems integration, data and IT.

I’ve been considering going this route for a while but my 9-5 is always a distraction and the priority. Now I might get laid off in the next 30-60 days and need how realistic it is to start gov contracting. Research says best to start as a sub/1099 to get some experience before I bid as a prime.

FWIW I already have an active LLC (from freelancing) the business bank account, taxes filed for 6 years and started the Sam.gov process.

I don’t have any industry certs but will most likely pass those tests quickly as I already actively study those topics to learn (the actual cert wasn’t a priority cause $).

Appreciate any lived experiences / advice.
