Capabilities Assessment – Through a series of interviews with key staff, upper management, department heads, and key technical staff, we offer the opportunity to develop a comprehensive capabilities assessment. This will detail the lines of business your firm is currently involved in and feature those that have the best chance of being needed by prime contractors.
Certification Search and Fulfillment – In order for firms to conduct business with the federal government, companies must have the appropriate registrations with government registries – such as ProNet and Central Contracting Registry. Additionally, prime contractors sometime seek subcontractors that have obtained other certifications - such as Women-Owned Business, Veteran-Owned business, have an 8(a) certification or are located in a HUB Zone.
