A structured, paid mentorship program for businesses that want to enter — and win in — government contracting. Led by a Service-Disabled Veteran business owner with active GSA, AbilityOne, and federal-agency experience, the program turns lessons we learned the hard way into a clear, repeatable path for you.
Two Ways In
The program meets you where you are, whether you're brand-new to government work or already selling commercially.
New to government contracting
Brand-new businesses preparing to sell to the government for the first time. We take you from zero to registered, certified, and ready to pursue your first opportunities.
Adding government revenue
Established companies with commercial traction, ready to add federal, state, or local government revenue as a durable new channel — without the trial-and-error.
What the Curriculum Covers
Six focused areas that move you from setup to signed contract — each grounded in what actually works today, not theory.
Business Setup
SAM.gov registration, your UEI and CAGE code, and choosing the right NAICS codes so you're eligible and findable.
Certifications That Open Doors
SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, and state HUB programs — which ones fit you, and how to qualify and stay current.
Finding Opportunities
SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, agency forecasts, and subcontracting with primes — where the work is and how to spot the right fits.
Bidding & Winning
Reading solicitations, pricing strategy, capability statements, and past performance — how to put together a response that competes.
Contract Vehicles
GSA Schedules, BPAs, IDIQs, and open-market purchase orders — how each one works and which to pursue.
Delivering & Getting Paid
Compliance, invoicing, and building the agency relationships that turn a first order into repeat business.
How It Works
Structured curriculum
A defined path from setup to contract, not scattered advice.
Direct access
Real access to our team — people doing this work today.
Built for your stage
Options for different stages and goals, from first-timer to scaling.
Practical, not theory
Grounded in active GSA, AbilityOne, and federal experience.
