Win your first federal contract — with your cohort beside you.
The Government Contracting Program takes you from 'I want to sell to the government' to 'I've submitted a real federal bid' — with entity setup, capability assets, the full template library, and a curated pipeline of live opportunities.
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
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.
- Entity setup
- SAM.gov
- SBA 8(a) / MBE / WOSB
Prime-Ready Capability Package
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.

- Capability Brief
GovCon Operator Toolkit
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.

Live Federal Bid Submitted
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.
- Capture
- Proposal
- Submission
Curated Opportunity Pipeline
Access the Cyber6-curated opportunity board for Federal and SLED RFPs and RFIs — vetted leads matched to your NAICS codes, set-asides, and capabilities so you stop drowning in SAM.gov.
- RFPs
- RFIs
- Sources Sought
Subcontracting Relationships
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
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 SetupFormation 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 RegistrationWalked 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 StatementA one-page Capability Statement built to federal buyer conventions — core competencies, differentiators, past performance, NAICS, certifications, and contact in the layout COs expect.
- Capability BriefAn 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 AgreementThe agreement that defines roles, work share, and exclusivity when you team with a prime or another small business on a federal pursuit.
- Non-Disclosure AgreementsMutual and one-way NDAs structured for federal pursuits and prime/sub conversations — protects your IP and pricing before you share.
- Pricing & Cost Proposal TemplateBuild defensible pricing with proper indirect rates, fee structure, and basis-of-estimate documentation that survives a contracting officer's review.
- AI WorkflowsPrompt 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 SubcontractingScripts, sequences, and target lists for getting on the radar of primes already winning the contracts you want subcontracting access to.
- Capture Management FrameworkA structured capture process — qualifying the opportunity, mapping the buying team, shaping the requirement, and positioning to win before the RFP drops.
- Agency Targeting WorksheetIdentify which agencies actually buy what you sell, in what quantities, on what vehicles — so you stop spraying and start targeting.
- Sources Sought Response TemplateThe 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 masterclassesDeep 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 masterclassesBuilding 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.
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.
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.
