Frequently asked questions
How do you typically work with clients?
Mostly in an advisory role. I review your offer and modification packages or build them for your team to submit. Work is billed hourly, on a monthly retainer, or as a defined project.
Can you serve as our authorized negotiator?
Yes, when your contract calls for it. As a fractional authorized negotiator, I can be designated to sign on your company's behalf with GSA. This is set up case by case.
Who is a good fit for Civic Strategy Partners?
Companies that hold a MAS contract and aren't seeing the revenue it should produce. Companies entering the federal market that want to do it right the first time. And companies that have worked with consultants before and want strategy behind the paperwork.
How is your approach different?
My work centers on what happens after submission: how a reviewer reads your file, how your pricing holds up in negotiation, and how the contract performs over its life. Pricing position, SIN alignment, and EPA strategy get the same attention as the documents.
Do you work with companies that don't have a Schedule yet?
Yes. Federal Market Readiness Roadmaps and Offer Readiness Diagnostics help you decide whether MAS is the right path and how to position for it. If MAS isn't the right vehicle for you, I'll say so.
Is CSP a certified small business?
Yes. Civic Strategy Partners is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and is available to team or subcontract on federal acquisition support work. Registration and teaming details are on the Capabilities page.
