From first look to first award.
Strategy, pipeline and win support, from your first look at the federal market to the proposal and beyond. Pick a single service or combine them. Most clients start with a Readiness Assessment or a Federal Sales Roadmap.
Federal Readiness Assessment
A quick, scored look at how ready your business is to sell to the government, before you invest real time and money in it. You get a clear picture of your gaps and what to do first.
Request an AssessmentWhat's included
- A first check: does the government buy what you sell, and how much of it?
- A scored review of your registration, NAICS and PSC codes, past performance, contract vehicles, competitors and teaming options
- Your top gaps, ranked by impact
- A 3-month and a 12-month action plan
- A recommendation on the right next step for your business
Federal Sales Roadmap
A research-backed plan that answers the three questions every new federal contractor gets wrong: who buys what you sell, how they buy it, and who you're up against.
Start with a RoadmapWhat's included
- Offering analysis mapped to NAICS and PSC codes
- Five-year market research (all vs. small-business spend) from USAspending.gov
- Spend by agency and sub-agency, plus set-aside share
- Top 3 target agencies and why they were selected
- How each target buys: competition type, task orders, vehicles (GSA MAS, GWACs, IDIQs)
- Direct competitors and likely teaming partners
- Strengths, weaknesses and a step-by-step action plan
- Live readout session with your team
SAM.gov Registration & Set-Aside Certifications
Get registered correctly the first time and pursue the small-business certifications you qualify for. SAM.gov registration itself is free; we help you get it right and keep it current.
Get Registered RightWhat's included
- SAM.gov registration or renewal support, including your Unique Entity ID
- NAICS code selection checked against SBA size standards
- Eligibility review for WOSB/EDWOSB, 8(a), HUBZone and SDVOSB programs
- Document checklist and application preparation
- Status tracking and annual renewal reminders
Eligibility decisions are made by the SBA and the VA. We help you prepare; we don't provide legal or tax advice.
Pipeline & Capability Statement Build
Turn the roadmap into real opportunities. We build a pipeline of pre-solicitation leads, set up the tracking, and give you a capability statement that earns meetings.
Build My PipelineWhat's included
- Saved SAM.gov searches for your codes and keywords
- Pre-RFP sourcing: RFIs, sources sought, agency forecasts, expiring contracts, industry days
- Up to five qualified opportunities per target agency, with PWIN, timeline and initial sizing
- CRM pipeline set up with a weekly update cadence
- One-page capability statement, tailored to your top targets
- Outreach plan for program offices and small-business specialists
Sources Sought & RFI Responses
The best time to compete is before the solicitation posts. We help you answer sources sought notices and RFIs in a way that helps shape the requirement around what you do well.
Respond to a NoticeWhat's included
- Notice review and a respond / don't-respond recommendation
- A response written around the program office's real problem, not a brochure
- Suggested requirements, set-aside and contract vehicle that fit your strengths
- Positioning commercial experience when you don't have federal past performance yet
- Meeting requests and follow-up with the program office and the small business office
Teaming & Subcontracting Strategy
Many small businesses win their first federal work as a partner or subcontractor. We find the primes that already hold the work and help you approach them with a specific opportunity in hand.
Find Teaming PartnersWhat's included
- Gap analysis: what a partner needs to bring, or what you bring to a partner
- A partner and prime shortlist built from federal award data
- Primes holding the contracts and vehicles you're targeting
- An approach package built around a specific opportunity

Bid/No-Bid & Proposal Compliance Support
Bid the right opportunities, then make sure your proposal answers every requirement the evaluators are looking for. You keep ownership of your proposal and your pricing.
Get Proposal SupportWhat's included
- Bid/no-bid review against your strategy, fit and capacity
- A compliance matrix mapping the instructions, evaluation criteria and work statement
- An annotated proposal outline and response checklist
