Government Contracting Fast Track Program

The most complete and detailed software program designed to guide business owners step-by-step through the government contracting procurement process.

There is nothing fast about the government contracting market. On average, it takes 36 months for a business to lay a foundation in the government market.

What if you had a “Fast Track” process to help you navigate through the government contracting maze?
What if you can cut the average time from 36 months down to 6 or 12 months?

That’s exactly what we’ve done here. We’ve invested over 10,000 man hours of research and development to put together a software program that includes virtually everything you can imagine. We call it the “Government Contracting Fast Track Program”. What would take you years to discover and learn is available now in a simple and easy to use platform.

Features of the Contracting Fast Track Program:
-Step-by-step instructions
-Checklist of tasks to be performed
-Federal Certification guidance for 8a, HUBzone, ED/WOSB, SDVOSB, VOSB, Section 3, etc.
-State & local certification information
-Commercial certification information
-Registration information on SAM.gov, DSBS, ORCA, etc
-Instructions on getting your GSA Schedule
-Benchmarking techniques after successful companies in your industry
-Research strategies on historical data such as previous incumbent & award amount
-Online/cloud based for easy access from anywhere
-Task assignments to teammates
-Interactive with live links and content addition
-Created for your company with multiple users
-Sharing capabilities with your team in real time
-Training courses through videos, Powerpoint, online platforms, etc.
-Sample documents of proposals, capability statements, marketing emails, etc

Components of the Contracting Fast Track Program:
We’ve simplified the Federal contracting process into one concise formula: P+P+P+P=P
The last “P” stands for profit. The other four “P’s” are the phases needed to be successful.
