For subcontractors

We are looking for a small number of specialist firms in Northern California.

Why this exists

Federal agencies buy a great deal of laboratory and biomedical services — recurring, multi-year, and set aside for small businesses. Most capable local firms never see this work because the bid process is complex and tedious, because of solicitations, compliance clauses, wage determinations, and registration requirements.

We handle that side. You can focus on the work.

What we bring

Solicitation identification and screening.

Proposal preparation and submission.

Contract administration and invoicing.

Prime responsibility for compliance.

What we look for

Relevant licenses, permits, and certifications (current and verifiable).

Capacity to perform over a multi-year contract term.

Responsiveness on quotes.

Clear communication if something goes wrong.

How we work

We will not ask you to price a solicitation we are not positioned to win. We build the relationship first, then bid.

If we win, you are paid on terms agreed in advance and set out in writing.
