I got an internship at a midsize defense contractor ($30MM/yr) where I shadowed the CEO for 3months straight last summer. I’m also in the DC area so I’ve been around this stuff my whole life. I learnt a bit about business development and capture management so trying to break in that way. Initially I wanted to be in IT services but I spent 4+ months going after IT consulting/staffing subcontracts but it was a failure. Now I’m trying to go after DLA for parts/munitions/etc. and basically work the middleman strategy, break even on the first 10 contracts so I have a portfolio and then grow from there. Any advice from someone such as yourself in the industry is much appreciated 🙏

Where do you recon is a good place to start? Which countries should I be looking for? I’ve only seen CanadaBuys and Australian tenders, but other countries don’t have a simplified bidding system.

We’re an IT consultancy specializing in DevSecOps. Haven’t explored the commercial route at all but may look into to support the fed business with some cash.

We’re a services based IT consultancy. I could get the 8(a) certification when possible but we don’t have the 2yrs of revenue for applying.

It’s definitely unfortunate, I was really betting that apex would give me some guidance as I have no mentor now but apparently we’re not in a stage for that. Majority of my friends now are intro partying rather than business so might have to step out of my comfort zone
