Strategy from the other side of the table.

Ninety-plus combined years of federal service. Decisions made the way a contracting officer would make them.

Most federal-market consultants have sold to the government. RPG’s principals ran the government’s side of the transaction: as contracting officers, senior contracting officers and program managers who awarded and administered tens of billions of dollars in professional-services and platform contracts, trained thousands of contracting officers, and designed the vehicles the rest of the market now competes on.

That vantage point changes the advice. We can tell you how a contracting officer will actually read your proposal, what will survive legal review, what will and will not move a source selection board, and when a protest is worth the money.

Our CEO is the principal creator of the Highest Technically Rated Offer (HTRO) Evaluation Methodology and recipient of the Coalition for Government Procurement’s Lifetime Acquisition Excellence Award. Our COO and CSO ran the OASIS and ASTRO programs from inside GSA.

How we help

Contract vehicle strategy

Which vehicles matter for your work, which you can realistically qualify for, and in what order to pursue them — OASIS+, ASTRO, agency IDIQs, MAS, or a Phase III pathway.

Capture and bid/no-bid decisions

Objective, contracting-officer-eyed assessment of a requirement: incumbent strength, evaluation approach, pricing pressure and the real probability of win.

Market research and competitive analysis

Who is winning the work, on which vehicles, with which teams — and where the openings are in the next 12–24 months.

Teaming, joint ventures and mentor-protégé

Structuring arrangements that satisfy the vehicle’s rules and the SBA’s, and that evaluators will credit rather than discount.

Protest and debriefing strategy

Knowing when to file and, just as important, when not to. We have sat on the government’s side of the protest process and know what wins them.

Compliance and contract administration

Reporting, modifications, options, OCI mitigation and the administrative work that keeps a hard-won vehicle from being cancelled for non-use or non-compliance.
