Program · Government Contracting

Win your first federal contract — with your cohort beside you.

// What you walk out with

Everything you need to compete for federal work — built with you, not handed to you.

Most GovCon courses sell theory. This program delivers tangible assets: a registered entity, buyer-ready capability documents, the full operator toolkit, warm prime relationships, and a real bid submitted on a live opportunity before you graduate.

Federally Registered Business

Ready to bid

Walk out with a properly formed entity, SAM.gov registration, and the set-aside designations you qualify for — the baseline every federal buyer requires before they can award you work.

What's included
  • Entity setup
  • SAM.gov
  • SBA 8(a) / MBE / WOSB

Prime-Ready Capability Package

Buyer-facing assets

A professionally written Capability Statement and Capability Brief that contracting officers and primes actually read — built for you, not a template you fill out alone.

What's included
  • Capability Statement
  • Capability Brief

GovCon Operator Toolkit

Pursuit-ready

The full template library used by working GovCon teams — teaming agreements, NDAs, pricing models, capture frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows that compress weeks of prep into days.

What's included
  • Templates
  • Pricing models
  • AI workflows

Live Federal Bid Submitted

Real opportunity

Develop and submit a real bid on a live federal opportunity alongside your cohort — the experience that turns 'aspiring contractor' into 'submitted contractor' on day one.

What's included

What's included

  • RFIs
  • Sources Sought

Subcontracting Relationships

Warm intros

Structured prime outreach playbooks and warm introductions to primes already winning the contracts you want a piece of — the fastest path to past performance for new contractors.

  • Prime outreach
  • Teaming
  • Past performance
// What's included

Everything included — training, done-for-you services, and a live bid.

Every piece below is included in your tuition. No upsells, no add-on packages, no surprise fees at the end. This is the full system that takes you from "curious about GovCon" to "I have a federal bid submitted under my company name."

Live & self-paced training for government contracting

A blended learning model built for working entrepreneurs. Weekly live cohort sessions led by working GovCon practitioners walk you through the federal buying process, set-aside strategy, capture, pricing, and proposal mechanics. Between live sessions, the self-paced library lets you re-watch and drill at your own speed. Every module ladders into a concrete deliverable — not just knowledge for its own sake.

Done-With-You services

Foundational work we do together, side-by-side, so you actually understand what you're filing and why. No black-box hand-offs that leave you stuck the next time something needs updating.

  • Business Entity Setup
    Formation guidance, EIN, and the structural decisions (LLC vs. S-corp, ownership, NAICS codes) that determine which set-asides and contract vehicles you can pursue.
  • SAM.gov Registration
    Walked through SAM.gov registration line-by-line — the single most common place new contractors get stuck or rejected. We sit with you until your UEI and CAGE are active.
  • Set-Aside Designations (SBA 8(a), MBE, WOSB, and more)
    Identify every set-aside you qualify for and complete the certifications that put you in the smaller, less-competitive pools where new contractors actually win.

Done-For-You services

Buyer-facing assets we build for you — written by people who've sat across the table from contracting officers and know exactly what makes a package get a second read versus the recycle bin.

  • Capability Statement
    A one-page Capability Statement built to federal buyer conventions — core competencies, differentiators, past performance, NAICS, certifications, and contact in the layout COs expect.
  • Capability Brief
    An extended Capability Brief for primes and program offices — the document you leave behind after a meeting that turns a polite handshake into a teaming conversation.

Government contracting template library

The full operator toolkit used by working GovCon teams. Stop reinventing every document from scratch — these are battle-tested templates you tailor to each pursuit, with the AI workflows that compress prep time from weeks to days.

  • GovCon Teaming Agreement
    The agreement that defines roles, work share, and exclusivity when you team with a prime or another small business on a federal pursuit.
  • Non-Disclosure Agreements
    Mutual and one-way NDAs structured for federal pursuits and prime/sub conversations — protects your IP and pricing before you share.
  • Pricing & Cost Proposal Template
    Build defensible pricing with proper indirect rates, fee structure, and basis-of-estimate documentation that survives a contracting officer's review.
  • AI Workflows
    Prompt libraries and AI-assisted workflows for sources sought responses, market research, capability tailoring, and proposal drafting — the leverage modern GovCon teams use to outpace bigger competitors.
  • Prime Outreach for Subcontracting
    Scripts, sequences, and target lists for getting on the radar of primes already winning the contracts you want subcontracting access to.
  • Capture Management Framework
    A structured capture process — qualifying the opportunity, mapping the buying team, shaping the requirement, and positioning to win before the RFP drops.
  • Agency Targeting Worksheet
    Identify which agencies actually buy what you sell, in what quantities, on what vehicles — so you stop spraying and start targeting.
  • Sources Sought Response Template
    The structured response that shapes RFPs in your favor and gets you flagged early as a qualified small business for upcoming awards.

One real bid developed and submitted

Before you graduate, your cohort develops and submits a real bid on a live federal contract opportunity. You'll go through capture, decision gate, teaming, pricing, writing, compliance review, and final submission — with practitioners walking you through every step. Win or lose, you graduate as a contractor who has actually submitted a federal bid, not one who has only read about it.

Cyber6 curated opportunity board (Federal & SLED)

Ongoing access to the Cyber6-curated board of Federal and SLED RFPs, RFIs, and Sources Sought notices — filtered and tagged by NAICS, set-aside eligibility, vehicle, and size so you see the opportunities you can actually win, not the firehose of everything posted to SAM.

Masterclasses with working GovCon operators

Recurring live sessions with practitioners who are actively winning federal and SLED work right now. These are the conversations you'd normally only get inside a successful GovCon shop — brought directly to your cohort.

  • Capture & proposal masterclasses
    Deep dives on capture strategy, color team reviews, pricing-to-win, past performance positioning, and the proposal moves that separate winners from runners-up.
  • Growth & relationships masterclasses
    Building a federal sales pipeline, prime relationships that actually convert, set-aside graduation strategy, and scaling from your first contract to a repeatable book of business.
Founders Guarantee

If you put in the work, we stand behind your outcome.

Show up, complete the deliverables, and engage with your advisor — we'll keep working with you until you've submitted a real federal bid under your company name.

Seats are limited

By the end of this program, you'll have submitted a real federal bid.

A registered entity, the set-asides you qualify for, buyer-ready capability assets, the full GovCon template library, warm prime relationships, a curated pipeline of live opportunities, and a real bid submitted with your cohort. Backed by the Founders Guarantee.

Cohorts are capped to protect the quality of live sessions, advisor time, and the live bid pursuit. Applications are reviewed in the order received.
