Scaling federal sales takes dedicated time. Your current options force you to choose between overloading estimators with federal paperwork, risking six figures on a new hire, or buying software you have to run yourselfGrowing your federal footprint is complex and manual. Your current options to fix it—hiring expensive BD reps or buying search software—don't actually give you the execution capacity you need to scale.

Limited CapacityThe "Too Busy to Bid" Trap

Government buyers regularly purchase products already in your catalog, but matching opportunities go unnoticed or unquoted simply because your team lacks the hours in the day to chase them.Government buyers regularly purchase products already in your catalog, but matching opportunities go unnoticed or unquoted simply because your team lacks the hours in the day to chase them.

Estimator BurnoutEstimator Backlog

Estimators in defense manufacturing waste up to 70% of their time hunting down technical drawings (TDPs) and cross-referencing part numbers instead of pricing the shop floor.Estimators in defense manufacturing waste up to 70% of their time hunting down technical drawings (TDPs) and cross-referencing part numbers instead of pricing the shop floor.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before we get to work.

Our internal infrastructure directly maps your capabilities against active DLA and NECO demand. By eliminating those manual research hours on our end, we can keep your fixed overhead low and tie our upside directly to the revenue we help you win.

Our shared-risk model is specifically structured to protect your margins. We charge a low, single-digit fee paid only from won revenue, and you retain complete control over the economics. Because you review and approve every final price, we simply don't submit a bid if the numbers don't make sense for your shop.

We don't believe in trapping you in a 12-month software subscription or a long-term consulting retainer. We operate on flexible agreements designed to prove our value quickly, which forces us to continually earn your business through actual performance.

Instead of replacing your estimator, our goal is to clear their backlog. By eliminating the tedious research and TDP reviews that consume up to 70% of their day, your team stays completely focused on shop-floor pricing so you can submit significantly more bids.

We keep the onboarding process completely seamless for your team. We securely sync with your existing catalog and quoting tools to map your capabilities, and then we handle all the data structuring and demand matching entirely on our end.
