Woman-Owned • Minority-Owned
Contracting Intelligence Group
CIG was founded by three former senior federal acquisition executives with 60+ years of combined experience across DoD, HHS, DHS, and GSA. We were the contracting officers, source selection officials, and evaluation board members. We know how federal acquisition decisions are made because we made them, and now we bring that institutional knowledge directly to the small and diverse-owned contractors who need it most.
The Problem
Most growth challenges are structural.
Contractors rarely lose because of formatting.
Capture discipline is weak.
Pricing is misaligned.
Compliance risks surface too late.
CPARS strategy is reactive.
Past performance isn't being managed proactively.
We address the system, not just the submission.
How We Work
Four stages, run by senior people.
Diagnose
We assess pipeline, pricing posture, compliance risk, and internal capacity.
Design
We assemble the right combination of capture, proposal, pricing, and compliance support.
Execute
Senior leaders are in the work — evaluation simulations, pricing guardrails, pre-flight reviews.
Institutionalize
We leave behind structure, discipline, and internal clarity.
The CIG Difference
Institutional authority, not borrowed expertise
Our founding team collectively holds 60+ years of combined federal acquisition experience across DoD, HHS, DHS, and civilian agencies. This is institutional knowledge that cannot be replicated by reading the FAR. It was earned by writing solicitations, running evaluation boards, and defending protests.
01
Evaluator-calibrated methodology
Our recommendations are grounded in how federal evaluators actually think, read, and score proposals, because we were the evaluators. Every framework we build reflects the perspective of the people who ran source selections, not just the people who supported them.
02
Full-lifecycle, problem-led support
We do not sell single services in isolation. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic of your goals, constraints, pipeline, and recent bids. From there, we assemble a tailored mix of capture, proposal, compliance, pricing, and training support, custom to your growth challenge, not a pre-built package.
03
Compliance and risk at the core
We focus on wins you can defend under protest, audit, and evaluator scrutiny, not just more proposal activity. Every recommendation we make is built to hold up after the award, not just to get the proposal out the door.
04
Built by the people the system overlooked
Our founding team includes women who navigated the exact barriers our clients face. Equity is not a value we perform. It is a principle we operationalize, building pathways for small and diverse-owned firms into a federal market that was not designed for them.
