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.
