FILE/03 — PROCESS

FIVE PHASES.
NO GUESSING.

Federal contracting is a discipline, not a gamble. Here's the exact sequence we run with every client.

PHASE/INTAKE

Week 1

Diagnostic

Two-hour capability deep-dive. We assess your past performance, certifications, financial capacity, and target agencies. You leave with a written go/no-go on federal viability.

PHASE/POSITION

Weeks 2–4

Position & Register

We get you legally and visibly ready to contract. SAM.gov, UEI, CAGE, NAICS, set-aside certifications, capability statement. Done right the first time.

PHASE/CAPTURE

Weeks 5–12

Capture

Pipeline of qualified opportunities. Agency intelligence. Teaming agreements. Pre-RFP shaping. We move from cold to known inside contracting offices.

PHASE/BID

Per opportunity

Proposal

Full proposal lifecycle: kickoff, outline, writing, color reviews, production, submission. Section L/M compliant, evaluator-friendly, priced to win.

PHASE/EXECUTE

Ongoing

Award & Perform

Award negotiation, kickoff, CPARS strategy, modifications, recompete positioning. Past performance is the next contract — we make sure yours sings.

Engagement model

FIXED-FEE OR RETAINER. NEVER % OF CONTRACT VALUE.

Contingency-fee federal consulting is non-compliant and a red flag to contracting officers. We work on transparent fixed fees or monthly retainers, period.
