Federal contracting can be complex. I help small businesses understand the process, evaluate opportunities, and compete with greater confidence. I bring more than 17 years of federal acquisition experience, including serving as a federal Contracting Officer and acquisition leader with the Department of the Navy. I've managed procurements across the full acquisition lifecycle—from acquisition planning and solicitation development through proposal evaluation, source selection, negotiation, award, and contract administration. Now, I use that government-side experience to help businesses better understand how federal agencies buy and what matters when pursuing federal opportunities. **I can help with:** * Federal opportunity and solicitation analysis * RFP/RFQ review and compliance * Bid/no-bid assessments * Proposal strategy, review, and evaluation * Acquisition and procurement strategy * FAR/DFARS interpretation and compliance * Market research and competitive positioning * Source selection and evaluation processes * Federal contracting questions and advisory support My approach is practical and straightforward. I don't believe every opportunity is worth pursuing, and I won't recommend unnecessary work. My goal is to help you understand what the government is asking for, identify potential risks or gaps, and make informed decisions about where to invest your time and resources. **17+ years federal acquisition experience | Former Federal Contracting Officer | DAWIA Level III Contracting | MBA**
