A Difference In The Industry
A Different Approach
The Federal Contractor Advisement Group offers a different approach to support companies contracting with the Federal Government. We offer specialists, experts, and professionals to assist the Contractor. We provide services that allow the Contractor to do-it-themselves, or become involved in a level that allows them as much control within their own comfort level or schedule.
We offer analysis, options and remedies in situations that often need a new perspective for your company.
We give overviews and an understanding of the procedures and the involvement of government, so that the owners / CEOs, who are not involved in day to day events, can understand and make necessary executive decisions with confidence.
We always provide our full efforts concerning federal procurement, business development, proposal writing, contract management, performance compliance, FAR compliance, claims, contract restructuring, negotiations, litigation support, dispute resolution, selling or investment. And, we can guide you to do the same.
Our team has experience in virtually every aspect of federal government contracting. We have worked in the government arena, and with federal government contracting companies, and as mediators and liaisons between the government and contractors.
Though our services encompass all areas of federal contracting, marketing, finance, production and growth, we treat all our clients separately, and don’t think a one-sized-fits-all solution will work. We’ll help you develop a customized plan to work within your unique position.

Areas
Guide and Educate
We work with your company to guide and educate your team to avoid and/or mitigate potential pitfalls and risks.
We instruct contract managers, so they have a working knowledge of the regulations within their contract terms, plus the performance and specification parameters which could have potential risk areas and lead to potential claims for added scope work.
We guide, instruct, mentor, in any aspect of government contracting. We review, analyze, or author depending on your needs.
Interpretation and Understanding
For CEOs, Presidents, Owners, Contract Administrators or Contract Managers – We are your go to team when you need someone to let you know and understand exactly what is going on with any contract issue and the Government. Or to tell you what consequences some action might have on your company. Or if there are other options that are available to your company.
Case in point: We were the go to advisors for a large company CEO / owner who was mired in several major issues with the Government. The company had a team of professionals which included legal firms, Public Relations firms, Risk and Damage management company, an accounting firm, and several political liaisons. We were called in as a personal representative by the CEO to keep her apprised of all the proceedings and the workings of the different teams, and keep her notified of the several interactions and proceedings. But most importantly, she wanted us to help her understand the maze and complexities in which she and the Board members had to make important decisions. We were the neutral party that presented the situation to her in a sensible manner and in which she could ask us any question, or what all the options and alternatives meant, and what we suggested.
Contract Performance
Contract Administration Arm:
We will act as your contract administration arm. If your company is a small business, this will give you the same advantage and clout as a large prime contractor.
Alternatively, we support your contract management so that performance runs smoothly, and potential issues are addressed before they become large problems. If you desire more efficiency, we instruct, train, and oversee administration activities of existing Contract Administration departments or select personnel.
Performance Problems:
We know what to do if contract performance problems arise, or when the customer increases the scope of work by changing the contract requirements, inspection procedures, or the date of delivery.
We support your company in the training of your contracts personnel; in how to alert company staff in pre-problem awareness; in recognition of increased costs; in methods to eliminate potential contractual problems; and in maintaining excellent working relationships with the Government.
Remedies
Claims:
We have extensive experience in preparing, presenting, and negotiating claims. It is critical for your company to understand the potential risks involved in the federal procurement industry. A large portion of these risks can be identified within the proposal development stages as well as during contract performance and contract closeout. We can guide and educate your team to avoid and/or mitigate your risks.
However, sometimes it is necessary to present a claim against the Government on your contract. Claims address contract performance problems that arise when the customer increases the scope of work by changing the contract requirements, inspection procedures, or the date of delivery. Claims are often necessary when these changes have had a detrimental impact on the contractor because of increased costs without compensation by the Government. We author or assist your team in writing, presenting, and negotiating your company’s claims.
Negotiations:
We negotiate claim disputes and settlements on your company’s behalf. We maintain the end goal of good working relationships with the customer for future work.
Business Development and Proposals
Our team works to advance the federal government contracting capacity of contractors be it at the outset of getting into the government contracting arena, or further developing your company’s outreach including Joint Ventures or teaming agreements.
Our team’s experience in Government proposals runs the gamut of all industries. It is imperative to make sure your company complies with all solicitation requirements and is fully responsive, before your company submits a proposal.
Our team does complete proposal writing services, as well as assisting at any level including critical assessments.
