Duration:
Ongoing (retainer + project-based)
What I Do
I work with businesses new to government contracting — or under-leveraging federal opportunities — and guide them through the full journey from interested to contract-ready. That means scoping their market position, mapping SAM.gov registration, identifying the right small business certifications, and aligning them with a credible bidding strategy from day one.
The Translation Layer
Most businesses understand commercial sales but get lost in federal procurement language. I bridge that gap: translating SAM, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB certification pathways into plain-language action plans, explaining what each designation means for pipeline development, and helping clients show up credibly in the federal marketplace — not just exist in the system.
Day-to-Day Advisory
Structured BD outreach and discovery calls to qualify federal opportunity fit. Consultative guidance on agency targeting, NAICS classification, and set-aside positioning. Light-touch proposal input — strategy, positioning, and risk-flagging — especially where my corporate and legal background adds direct value in compliance documentation and risk language.
What Clients Get
A clear federal pathway: SAM registration completed correctly, certifications identified and prioritized, opportunity screening criteria defined, and a BD motion that reflects realistic win probability. Clients also get Hawary's legal background applied — meaning compliance, documentation, and contract risk are addressed from the start, not discovered after award.
Who It Is For
Businesses with real capability wanting to enter or scale in the federal market. Nonprofits and service providers pursuing grant and contract opportunities. Consultants wanting to legitimize their federal presence. And any operator who wants a legal-commercial advisor — not just a registration service — guiding their govcon strategy.
The Pain It Solves
Most businesses that fail in federal contracting do not fail because of capability — they fail because they entered the market without a structured approach. Registered in SAM but targeting the wrong agencies. Certified but with no capture strategy. Bidding on everything and winning nothing. I fix the operating model before the proposal writing starts.
