@DiversifyNevada APEX Accelerators are one of the most underutilized free resources in govcon. They'll help with SAM registration, capability statements, and even finding opportunities. If you're a small business owner and haven't connected with your local APEX center yet — do it.
@CityLittleRock Great initiative! For small businesses just getting started: get your SAM registration done ASAP, get your NAICS codes right, and start small with local/state contracts before jumping to federal. The learning curve is real but the opportunity is massive.
@BerenzweigLaw Events like Pub K are gold for staying current on case law and judge preferences. For anyone in govcon who can't attend in person — following the key takeaways from these sessions is just as important as the BD side of the business.
@VisibleThread MAPS in draft this long is tough for firms that invested in positioning. Good reminder to diversify — don't bet on one vehicle. Track pre-solicitation signals across SAM.gov and forecasts so you're not caught waiting.
@EubanksTax Underrated topic. So many small govcon firms focus on BD and proposals but neglect their accounting systems. Then they get hit with DCAA findings that cost them contracts. A clean close process isn't overhead — it's your license to play.

@JSToogood Love this! Woman-owned + veteran-led is a powerful combination in federal contracting. WOSB set-asides are growing and agencies are actively looking for capable firms. Happy Women's History Month to the JST team 🙌
@ibsscorp This is key. Too many C3PAOs treat it like a checkbox exercise. The best ones communicate clearly upfront about scope, timeline, and what “ready” actually looks like. Saves everyone time and avoids costly re-assessments.
@harbor_site Great model — SDVOSB + enterprise JV is one of the strongest positioning plays in federal IT right now. Tip: track DHA/DISA forecast opportunities early so you can shape the teaming before the RFP drops. Tools like contractpulse.io can help surface those early signals.
@ProdigyBPC 100%. Companies that win consistently track opportunities months before the RFP drops. Building CO relationships, studying past awards, understanding eval criteria early. That prep separates a 20% win rate from 60%+.

The federal government spent $759 BILLION on contracts last year.
23% was reserved for small businesses.
But most don't know where to look.
