The Challenge

The federal market rewards insiders.
We make you one.

🔍

Barriers keep capable companies out

SAM.gov, FAR compliance, DFARS supplements, set-aside certifications — the system is deliberately complex. First-time entrants lose months just learning the vocabulary while opportunities pass them by.

📊

Single-customer concentration is an existential risk

Most established contractors rely on one or two agencies for the majority of their revenue. When that contract recompetes or a relationship shifts, there's no pipeline to fall back on. Diversification isn't optional — it's survival.

🚧

Contract vehicles are the hidden moat

Over 60% of federal spending flows through pre-competed IDIQ and GWAC vehicles. Without a seat at the table, you're locked out of the largest and most reliable sources of federal revenue — no matter how strong your past performance is.

"

The federal contracting system is built for insiders. Most capable companies never enter because the process stops them. Those who do enter often stall — too dependent on a single customer, locked out of the vehicles where federal spending is concentrated. Avechos closes both gaps.

The Avechos Method

A proven path from unknown to awarded.

Three integrated phases. One proven playbook. Whether you're entering the federal market for the first time or scaling past your current ceiling — the path runs through the same fundamentals.

01

Establish

For new entrants: get your entity registered, certified, and positioned to compete. For established contractors: audit your current footprint, identify the gaps in your vehicle coverage and agency relationships, and build the strategic foundation for what comes next.

02

Pursue

Build a pipeline that doesn't depend on a single customer or a lucky break. We identify opportunities across agencies, analyze your competitive position, secure seats on the right contract vehicles, and engage decision-makers before the RFP drops.

03

Win & Grow

Write proposals that score across multiple agencies. Deliver work that earns exceptional CPARS ratings. Convert past performance into new agency access — and turn a single-customer business into a diversified federal revenue engine.

Services

Every capability you need to enter, compete, and grow.

From first registration to multi-agency growth — the full spectrum of GovCon expertise, available as a dedicated resource or a targeted engagement.

📋

Registration & Compliance

SAM.gov, CAGE, UEI, NAICS strategy, and small business certifications — the eligibility foundation that makes everything else possible. For established contractors, we audit and optimize existing registrations to remove hidden eligibility gaps.

Foundation · Audit
🎯

Capture & Agency Expansion

Systematic pipeline development across new and existing agencies. We identify the right opportunities, analyze win probability, build agency relationships, and pursue targets with intelligence — not guesswork.

Pipeline · New Agencies

Proposal Writing

Technical volumes, management approaches, and past performance write-ups built for government evaluation matrices — not business pitches.

SBIR / STTR & Phase II Growth

Non-dilutive funding for innovative technology — up to $275K in Phase I, no equity. We also support Phase II transitions and Phase III commercialization pathways that convert R&D funding into production contracts.

⚙️

Program Management & Recompete Defense

Post-award support that keeps your customer satisfied and your CPARS ratings exceptional — while actively building the agency relationships and incumbent advantage that make your recompete nearly impossible to lose.

Execution · Retention
🤝

Teaming, Vehicles & Subcontracting

The fastest path to a first award — or a new agency — is often through a prime or contract vehicle. We identify teaming partners, structure agreements that protect you, and secure seats on IDIQ and GWAC vehicles where federal spending is concentrated.

Why Avechos

Deep expertise.
Honest guidance.

Alexandra had a dream — a dream to open opportunities for all the other dreamers, inventors, and world-shakers. She left the military to help those fellow dreamers secure not only their future, but our children's and this nation's future as well.

Alexandra Tati is a former United States Air Force Acquisitions Officer who spent years doing engineering and program management inside the federal contracting system — on the government side of the table. She saw how companies competed, won, and most importantly, kept business.

She founded Avechos with a singular mission: to help businesses with innovative ideas enable our warfighters to defend this nation with the best technology in hand.

Alexandra is an engineer at heart. Her team won't just learn your pitch — they'll learn your product. Down to the nuts, bolts, and wires. Because understanding what you've built is the only way to represent it credibly in front of the people who matter.

Common Questions

What most companies ask before they engage.

Do we need prior GovCon experience to work with Avechos?

+

Not at all. Most of our clients are entering the federal market for the first time. We start from wherever you are — whether that's zero registrations or one lost proposal — and build the foundation systematically.

How long does it take to win a first contract?

+

It depends on contract type. SBIR Phase I awards typically come 6–9 months after submission. Smaller SAM.gov set-aside contracts can move faster — sometimes 60–90 days from opportunity identification to award. We set realistic timelines from the start.

What does an Avechos engagement cost?

+

Avechos engagements start with a fixed-price Federal Pursuit Strategy — a concrete deliverable that gives you a clear, sequenced path from where you are today to your first federal award. No ambiguity, no open-ended commitment. We meet you where you are. Every team is unique — different capabilities, different timelines, different goals. From there, clients who want continued support choose how they move forward: Full-Service Retainer (we handle everything — pipeline, proposals, capture strategy, compliance, and program support), Advisory Retainer (strategic oversight and on-call support while you handle execution), Proposal Sprint (focused engagement per active opportunity, ideal if you have a specific solicitation in sight), or SBIR/STTR Track (a dedicated engagement built around identifying, writing, and submitting SBIR or STTR proposals). All ongoing engagements begin with a 6–12 month commitment so we can drive real, measurable progress together. Pricing is discussed transparently on your discovery call. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

What types of engineering companies do you work with?

+

Defense technology, aerospace, software and IT systems, civil infrastructure, biomedical devices, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing. If your capabilities are technical and you want to sell to the government, we want to work with you.

Can you help us even if we already have a contract?

+

Yes. Post-award program management is a core service. We help contractors execute cleanly, hit their CDRLs, maintain strong CPARS ratings, and position for option year exercises and follow-on awards.

How is Avechos different from other GovCon consultants?

+

We specialize in engineering and program management — which means we can engage with your technical teams at a deep level, not just the business development side. We also focus specifically on getting clients to their first award quickly, rather than selling long advisory retainers with vague milestones.

We already have federal contracts — can Avechos still help us?

+

Absolutely. Avechos is built for companies at two distinct points in their federal journey: those entering the market for the first time, and those who have won contracts but want to grow beyond where they are — whether that means breaking into new agencies, getting onto the contract vehicles where spending is concentrated, or defending a recompete they can't afford to lose. We'll start with an honest assessment of where you stand and what the most realistic path forward looks like.

How do we break into a new federal agency?

+

New agency penetration takes a combination of the right vehicle positioning, pre-solicitation engagement, and translating your existing past performance into language that resonates with the new customer. We help you identify the specific programs and offices that are a fit for your capabilities, respond to Sources Sought and RFIs to establish a presence, and build the relationships that make your next proposal competitive before the RFP drops.

We're too dependent on one customer — what's our risk?

+

Single-agency concentration is one of the most common and most dangerous positions in GovCon. When a contract recompetes, when a budget gets cut, or when a key relationship changes, companies without a diversified portfolio face an existential threat. The good news: your existing past performance and relationships are assets — they just need to be leveraged across a broader agency footprint. That's exactly what we help you do.

What contract vehicles should we be on?

+

The right vehicles depend on your NAICS codes, capabilities, and target agencies. Major vehicles like GSA MAS, OASIS+, 8(a) STARS III, and agency-specific IDIQs each serve different buyer pools. Over 60% of federal IT and professional services spending flows through contract vehicles — being off them means competing for a fraction of the market. We assess which vehicles you're eligible for, which are actively generating task order opportunities in your space, and what it takes to get on them.
