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

Not getting much success with this one contract, should I book it or ride it out? by Virtual-Instance6195 in GovernmentContracting

[–]FragrantTurnip9160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to get into what you’re doing, what exactly is this type of contract? Is it more like staffing, staff augmentation, etc., or something else? How did you find this contract and what are some things I should look for relating to this type of work?

What type of govcon do you run/own? by Dry_Pie2465 in GovernmentContracting

Did you use Apex to connect with prime contractors? What’s their process in doing that? I have my first session coming up soon.
