1. Federal Readiness & Positioning
We make sure your company is built to be taken seriously in the federal space.
What this includes:
- Assessing your current federal footprint (SAM, DSBS, past performance, teaming history)
- Mapping your core services to specific agencies, programs, and contract types
- Clarifying your federal value proposition in each mission domain you play in
- Advising on NAICS/PSC mix, set-asides, and positioning strategy
-Tightening key assets: capability statement, DSBS narrative, high-level past performance profiles
Outcome: You walk away with a clear picture of where you belong in the federal landscape and how to present yourself like a serious, long-term player.
2. Pipeline Intelligence & Opportunity Targeting
Most firms either see everything or nothing. We narrow the scope to what you can actually win.
What this includes:
- Building a 6–12 month live opportunity pipeline in your specific niche(s)
- Separating “interesting” from winnable based on your capabilities, past performance, and capacity
- Tracking key vehicles, BPA/IDIQs, and recompetes that matter to you
- Highlighting pre-RFP intel opportunities
- Keeping your leadership focused on a short list of high-impact targets
Outcome: You stop spray-and-pray bidding and operate off a disciplined target list that reflects reality not hope.
3. Capture & Proposal Operations Support
We plug into your team as the external strike cell that organizes and drives the work.
What this includes:
- Setting a capture rhythm: intel tasks, partner outreach, shaping activities
- Defining win themes and discriminators for each pursuit
- Coordinating inputs from SMEs, subs, and internal leads
- Supporting technical, management, and past-performance write-ups
- SPEAR can lead or support capture depending on your internal capacity. Either way, we make sure someone owns the shot, every time.
Outcome: You gain repeatable, organized pursuit behavior instead of last-minute scrambles.
4. Strategic Advisory for High-Stakes Growth
Some problems don’t fit into a standard pipeline: new business lines, new geographies, complex partnerships.
What this includes:
- Evaluating new mission domains (e.g., training, expeditionary support, aviation/maritime) for federal viability
- Advising on strategic teaming, JV/mentor-protégé concepts, and long-term positioning
- Stress-testing plans for growth into higher-risk or overseas work
- Helping you balance commercial, state/local, and federal portfolios
Outcome: You get a partner who understands both the boardroom and the battlefield and can help you make moves that hold up under pressure.

How to Decide Which Level is Right for You
If you’re still asking “Is federal worth it for us?”

If you’re ready to treat federal as a core line of effort and want a standing growth cell → step into Elite.
We don’t over-sell. If we don’t think we can materially improve your federal posture and pipeline, we’ll tell you that on the call.
