Advisory Engagement Packages

  • Precision Screening for Federal Acquisition Pursuits

    We do not view compliance as a checklist — we treat it as the primary gate for federal engagement. Our advisory-only screening framework evaluates opportunities against mandatory federal statutes to identify No-Go risks before bid costs, proposal effort, or capital are committed.

    Scope Includes:

    • Tier-1 Statutory Validation
      Review of mandatory eligibility requirements including Facility Clearance (FCL) applicability, set-aside status (8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB), and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) exposure.

    • Regulatory Hardening
      Clause-level exposure analysis against FAR and DFARS requirements to assess pursuit defensibility.

    • Cybersecurity Governance
      Review of NIST 800-171 implementation status and CMMC alignment relative to solicitation-specific requirements (including SPRS expectations where applicable).

  • Quantifying the True Cost of Contract Capture

    A contract award has no value if execution erodes capital. We apply risk-adjusted, banking-grade financial analysis to assess whether a pursuit is financially viable, fundable, and operationally sustainable from an advisory decision-support perspective.

    Scope Includes:

    • RAROC Scoring
      Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) modeling to evaluate execution viability and downside exposure — not merely win probability.

    • Capital Adequacy & Cash Flow Modeling
      Advisory working capital stress-testing against IDIQ ceilings, delivery schedules, burn rates, and government payment cycles.

    • DCAA Readiness Screening
      Pre-award accounting system risk screening for Cost-Type and hybrid contract exposure, focused on identifying DCAA-related eligibility and execution risks.

  • Data-Driven Federal Market Positioning

    We replace capture intuition with verified federal procurement data. Through publicly available, non-operational data sources, we construct a market-level competitive view that informs executive-level pricing considerations, teaming risk awareness, and market entry decisions.

    Scope Includes:

    • Historical Award Benchmarking
      Analysis of awarded contract data to assess price reasonableness indicators and historical award trends.

    • Teaming & FOCI Risk Screening
      Objective risk screening of subcontractor past performance indicators and potential foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) exposure.

    • Competitive Landscape Analysis
      Review of incumbent performance indicators and agency spend patterns to assess market saturation and entry risk.

  • The CFCG COO Agent Advantage

    Our advisory determinations are supported by the CFCG COO Agent — a deterministic advisory decision-support engine designed to reduce cognitive bias and consistently apply predefined governance criteria.

    Value Delivered:

    • Speed to Decision
      Automated governance protocols enable rapid, structured Go / No-Go recommendations based on predefined eligibility and risk thresholds.

    • Liability-Safe Advisory
      Executive-level screening clarity that supports informed resource deployment decisions while expressly excluding proposal execution, bid submission, or operational responsibility.

    What Is Delivered

    A precision statutory screening brief for organizations evaluating a federal opportunity before committing bid resources. This is not a checklist — it is a structured GO / NO-GO / ESCALATE analysis that gives decision-makers the information they need to act.

    • Tier-1 statutory eligibility validation — set-aside status applicability, Foreign Ownership Control or Influence (FOCI) / FCL exposure, Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance posture

    • High-risk FAR / DFARS clause exposure identification — material clauses that create cost, risk, or performance exposure

    • Cybersecurity requirement threshold alignment (NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC where applicable)
