Total Federal Contract Spend
Awarded to Small Businesses

Always chasing the next job just to keep the crew busy
Getting underbid by competitors who cut corners
Working 6–7 days a week and still not getting ahead
Winning work… but barely making money on it
Most contractors think:
“I need connections”
“I need past performance”
“I need to be bigger”
But all you really need is to understand how the government really evaluates bids.


I spent 22 years as a Federal Contracting Officer deciding:
Who wins
Who loses
And why
I don’t teach theory.
I teach how decisions actually get made.
