US and foreign businesses increasingly benefit from contracting with the US federal and state governments. Since September 11, 2001, we have seen a significant increase in government contracts awarded to security, technology, and defense-related industries, as well as to services oriented industries. We see this trend continue and with the recent enactment of the stimulus legislation, government and state contracts in other areas such as transportation and infrastructure are expected to increase.
MAK Advisors LLC has formed a strategic alliance with Jennifer Schaus & Associates to help provide clients with the roadmap and the tools - most importantly a GSA Schedule - to compete for Federal, State and Local Government contracts. President Obama has called for making the process under which government contracts are awarded more competitive. Now more so than ever, businesses should take advantage of government contracting opportunities.
Our services include:
Assist in getting US and foreign companies on the GSA Schedule
Formulate a government contracting plan and strategy based on agency needs and available funding
Assist clients in gaining appropriate industrial security clearances and implementing good practices to maintain clearances for defense and security-related contracts
Identify GSA contract opportunities
Identify potential GSA partnership opportunities (e.g., as a prime or sub vendor)
Draft and submit proposals in response to RFI, RFP, RFQ, etc.
Help build relationships with appropriate US government agencies and congressional offices
As appropriate, facilitate meetings with relevant representatives of US business community in Washington, DC
Provide Venture Capital, Angel Fund or US Government backed financing as needed
We also help companies identify overseas contracting opportunities through either US government related projects (e.g., the Millennium Challenge Corporation, USAID and others) or foreign acquisitions of US goods and services.
