Our roster of acquisition experts includes senior procurement specialists, policy analysts, cost and pricing analysts, and contract administration professionals. Our staff is well versed in defense and civilian agency acquisition regulations and their many agency supplements. Many of our staff are published authors in acquisition management best practices.
We can provide your agency or organization with the exact support you need to define your contract requirements, create a strong acquisition package to withstand a protest after award, answer contractor questions during the bidding process and thoroughly evaluate proposals. In additional to our tactical support, we offer strategic services as well. For example, we can help you develop a rational acquisition strategy or recommend process improvements that will help your staff perform acquisition life cycle events more efficiently and effectively.
