Strategic contracting is key!

A Small Business takes on An Industry Giant

How BOOST Support Helped a Small Business in Negotiations

Most of us routinely agree to terms and conditions in our daily lives without even reading them. We tap “I AGREE” to update our phone’s software, sign up for gym memberships, magazine subscriptions, and lawn care services, often without a second glance at the fine print.

It’s about creating a more equitable environment where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of their background.

Where’s Your Cape?

Master the Art of Capabilities Statements for GovCon Success

Now, we’re not talking about your superhero cape. (But what you wear to work during a work-from-home-situation is none of our business.) We’re talking about your Capabilities Statement (better known as your cap statement) for government contractors. We bet that you need at least two hands, or more, to count the number of times you’ve been asked “what does your company do?” We would hedge a similar bet that you’ve been asked for a statement outlining your capabilities nearly the same number of times.
If you’re new to the GovCon space and you don’t yet have a capabilities statement, let us define that for you.
