Government contracting support
Sourcing, bid/no-bid, and proposal support for facility-maintenance and general government contracts, plus the SAM registration, set-aside positioning, and compliance backstop every award actually needs.
Why it matters
Most firms lose their first shot at federal or public-sector work to something avoidable: a SAM registration that lapses mid-pursuit, a set-aside application filed before the firm is structurally ready, or a facility-maintenance award where nobody flagged whether Davis-Bacon or the Service Contract Act actually governs the wage rate. None of that is a capability problem. It's a process problem.
How it works
Method
Tell us your target NAICS and trade capacity
Facility support (561210), janitorial (561720), landscaping (561730), plumbing/HVAC (238220), or the general government-contracting lane.
We scope open opportunities against those codes
We match open solicitations to your codes and set-aside profile, score them for fit, and return a shortlist with the reasoning attached.
Every opportunity gets scored bid/no-bid
Against the actual solicitation terms, before you spend a proposal hour on it.
SAM.gov and set-aside positioning get confirmed
We prepare your SAM.gov registration for you to submit, or verify your existing profile, and flag the right track (8(a), SDVOSB, or a faster state program) for your actual pipeline, not a program you don't qualify for yet.
The proposal gets built
With the correct wage regime (Davis-Bacon or the Service Contract Act) flagged for your or counsel's confirmation before you price the work.
You review and submit
Nothing goes out that you haven't seen.
On an award, we administer the contract
Teaming, subcontractor compliance, and invoicing, at a fee scoped to the actual vehicle, not a flat rate guessed in advance.
The gate
The review gate
This line is held to the same standard as the compliance flagship: checked, reconciled, and held back the moment something doesn't add up.

Deliverables
- SAM.gov registration, prepared and kept current
- Set-aside eligibility read against 8(a), SDVOSB, and state-level programs, honestly
- Facility-maintenance and general-GovCon opportunity scoring, bid/no-bid triage
- Proposal drafts grounded in what you can substantiate, never a claim you can't back up
- Wage-determination routing (Davis-Bacon vs. Service Contract Act), flagged per award
- Post-award contract administration: teaming, sub compliance, invoicing
$175/hr or $1,500 per proposal for pursuit and drafting, the same rate whether the target is general government work or facility-maintenance NAICS specifically. Post-award contract administration is quoted per engagement by contract vehicle and administrative scope, never as a percentage of contract value. SAM.gov registration is $500 flat; set-aside/8(a)/MBE certification support is $3,000 flat. Configure a mix in the engagement builder.
Pricing & scopeBuying without a formal bid
Small purchases
For a purchase small enough that your rules allow a single written quote, send a short scope of what you need. We return a one-page quote, signed by the owner, with the scope, a price drawn from the rates published above, and our registrations attached.
California state agencies: we're a certified Small Business, CA DGS Cert. ID 2054828. Under Gov. Code §14838.5, a state agency may use the SB/DVBE Option to award a contract from $5,000.01 to $249,999.99 to a certified small business or a disabled veteran business enterprise without competitive bidding, after price quotes from two or more certified small businesses. We qualify through our Small Business certification, not disabled-veteran status.
Local agencies: informal and no-bid purchase thresholds vary by jurisdiction. Tell us your purchasing rules and we'll quote to them.
Questions contractors ask
Common questions
Can a contractor with no federal past performance still compete?
Yes, that's the deliberate entry point, not a disqualifier. The Simplified Acquisition Threshold band (contracts up to $350,000 under FAR 2.101) is where firms without a federal track record are meant to start; we build your pipeline from there instead of chasing awards sized for primes with a decade of past performance.
Does facility-maintenance work require bonding?
Often no. Service contracts like janitorial and facility maintenance typically don't carry the payment/performance bonding a Miller Act construction contract does. Bonding requirements still vary by solicitation, so we confirm it against the actual RFP before you price anything, never against a general rule.
Do you self-perform the trade work?
No. We're a compliance and advisory firm, not a facilities contractor. Every award is delivered through your team or a teaming/subcontractor relationship we help structure, and that is stated to the client at the proposal stage, never implied as in-house labor capacity.
How do you find the opportunities?
We scope federal and California awarding-body solicitations against your NAICS codes and set-aside profile, score each one for fit, and return a shortlist with the reasoning attached, so you can see why anything made the list before you spend a day on it.
Davis-Bacon or the Service Contract Act: which applies to our award?
It depends on whether the work is construction-flavored (Davis-Bacon) or a service contract (SCA), and we flag which regime applies on every award, but that read is for your or your counsel's confirmation, never asserted by us as a final legal determination.
