GovCon training & workshops
Hands-on training that takes a team from “we’ve heard there’s government work out there” to a clean SAM.gov registration, a real pipeline, and proposals that actually get evaluated. Built for small and mid-sized businesses new to federal and state contracting.
Most teams don’t lose federal work because they can’t do the work — they lose it because of avoidable, procedural mistakes: a SAM.gov registration that stalls for a month, bidding the wrong opportunities, missing a Section L instruction, or submitting a non-compliant proposal that never reaches a real evaluation. Our training closes those gaps fast, using your own target opportunities as the worked examples.
What we cover
The full path to a winnable bid
A practical curriculum, mapped to how federal and state procurement actually works. Pick the modules your team needs, or run them end to end.
SAM.gov registration done right
UEI, CAGE, EIN alignment and the validation gotchas that send new vendors back to the start of the queue — so registration is active in days, not weeks.
Finding the right opportunities
NAICS and PSC codes, set-aside eligibility, and search discipline so your team chases work you can actually win — across SAM.gov and state portals — instead of everything.
Reading solicitations (Sections L & M)
How a federal solicitation is structured, what Section L (instructions) and Section M (evaluation) really demand, and how to turn evaluation criteria into your proposal outline.
Writing compliant proposals
Compliance matrices, responding to the evaluation factors point for point, and the formatting and submission rules that disqualify otherwise-strong bids before anyone scores them.
Bid / no-bid discipline
A repeatable scoring framework so you commit proposal hours to the opportunities with real win probability — and walk away early from the ones that drain the team.
Teaming & subcontracting
When to prime, when to sub, how to find and vet teaming partners, and structuring teaming agreements and joint ventures (including mentor-protégé) to reach larger contracts.
How we deliver it
Two ways we run it — pick what fits your team
Live workshops
Best for: a cohort getting up to speed together
- Instructor-led sessions, run remotely or on-site
- Worked through your own target opportunities, not generic samples
- Half-day, full-day, or a multi-week program
- Templates and checklists your team keeps and reuses
Team onboarding
Best for: standing up a new GovCon capability
- Tailored to your sector, NAICS codes and target agencies
- Roles and process: who owns capture, compliance, and writing
- Set up your bid/no-bid framework and proposal workflow
- Optional ongoing mentoring through your first live bids

GovCon is the software you run your bids in — opportunity tracking, AI-assisted proposal drafting, and compliance, with US-based, US-hosted support. Workshops and onboarding can be delivered directly in GovCon so your team practices on the tooling they’ll use day to day.
