A Proven Path: From Exploration to Winning Contracts

Government contracting isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s a journey. That’s why we’ve built the EDGE pathway into four clear phases that grow with your business.

From Phase N.O.V.A (foundational readiness), to EDGE SLED (state, local, and education contracts), to EDGE FED (national federal opportunities), and finally Large Business Consulting (scaling with high-volume proposals), you’ll always know your next step.

EDGE ensures you’re never stuck, never guessing, and always advancing with a proven growth framework.

N.O.V.A

At this stage, you’re curious about federal contracting but haven’t taken the first steps. You may not be registered in government systems like SAM.gov, and you likely don’t know what NAICS codes, DSBS profiles, or set-aside certifications are.

This is where we come in. With our N.O.V.A (New Opportunities, Visibility & Alignment) program, we build your entire federal foundation — from registrations and compliance to your first capability statement.

You leave N.O.V.A with a professional government-ready identity.

Edge Sled

Getting registered is just the beginning — the real challenge is visibility.

SAM.gov alone won’t make agencies or primes notice you. To compete in state, local, and education markets, you need to look credible and get in front of the right buyers.

EDGE SLED gives you that presence. We create a polished capability statement, optimize your codes, and launch targeted outreach campaigns built on Shipley best practices.

The result: your business goes from invisible to visible — and positioned for real SLED opportunities.

Edge Fed

Local success is a strong start, but competing at the federal level requires more. Federal agencies award larger, multi-year contracts — but they also demand sharper strategies, stronger positioning, and compliance you can’t afford to miss.

EDGE FED bridges that gap. Using Shipley-based best practices, we refine your profile, build capture strategies, and guide outreach to key federal decision-makers. The result: your business moves from local wins to competing — and winning — at the national level.

Large Business Consulting

For established contractors, the challenge isn’t getting noticed — it’s scaling. Competing for GWACs, IDIQs, and other large vehicles requires high-volume proposal support, complex compliance, and strategic positioning.

Our EDGE Large Business Consulting program delivers exactly that. Grounded in Shipley best practices, we provide end-to-end proposal development, RED/GOLD team reviews, and strategic advisory to help your business compete — and win — at the enterprise level.
