Win, Negotiate, and Stay Compliant on Federal Contracts
Selling to the federal government comes with a rulebook of its own — we help contractors navigate it from bid to performance.
Federal Contracting Rewards Contractors Who Know the Rules
The businesses that win and keep federal contracts are the ones that treat compliance as part of the strategy, not an afterthought.
We guide contractors through the bid and proposal process, structure teaming and subcontractor agreements, and keep contract performance aligned with federal acquisition rules. Whether you're pursuing your first set-aside contract or managing a GSA Schedule, we help you compete effectively while staying within the lines that matter.
Winning the contract is only half the job — see the ongoing compliance obligations for federal contractors that come with performing on it.

Questions About Government Contracting?
Get clear answers to the questions we hear most often.
What is a small business set-aside program?
Set-aside programs — including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) — reserve certain federal contracts for qualifying small businesses, reducing competition from larger firms. Qualifying requires meeting specific ownership, control, and size criteria, and the application process itself can be detailed and document-heavy.
How do I protest a lost government contract bid?
A bid protest is typically filed with the agency itself, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or the Court of Federal Claims, depending on the circumstances. Protests are subject to strict, short deadlines — often just days after the award decision or your debriefing — so speed matters as much as having valid grounds.
What is a GSA Schedule contract?
A GSA Schedule (also called a Multiple Award Schedule) is a long-term government-wide contract that pre-qualifies a vendor's products or services and pricing, making it easier for federal agencies to purchase from that vendor without a full competitive solicitation each time. Getting on a schedule involves a detailed proposal and pricing negotiation with the GSA.
Do I need a lawyer to respond to a government RFP?
It's not strictly required, but federal RFPs are dense with compliance requirements, and a technically excellent proposal can still be disqualified for missing a mandatory formatting or certification requirement. Legal review helps ensure your proposal is compliant and that any teaming or subcontracting arrangements are properly documented.
What's the difference between a prime contractor and subcontractor?
A prime contractor holds the direct contract with the government agency and bears ultimate responsibility for performance. A subcontractor performs work under an agreement with the prime, not directly with the government, though certain flow-down FAR/DFARS clauses still apply to subcontractors depending on the contract.
What is a teaming agreement?
A teaming agreement is a contract between two or more companies agreeing to jointly pursue a specific government contract, typically with one acting as prime and the other as subcontractor. It defines each party's role, revenue split, and obligations before the proposal is submitted, and disputes often arise later if it isn't drafted clearly.
What happens if I'm found non-compliant with FAR requirements?
Consequences range from a required corrective action plan to contract termination, financial penalties, or in serious cases, suspension or debarment from future federal contracting. Addressing a compliance gap proactively, before it's flagged by an audit or the agency, generally leads to a far better outcome than reacting after the fact.
