GettingFED™ w/Go-To-Guy is about nourishing the minds of federal contracting stakeholders so they are better empowered to take action and achieve results. It's an extension of conversations we facilitate regularly as The American Small Business Coalition, through activities associated with our Ethical Stalking for Government Contractors® curriculum. During programs such as Ethical Stalking for Government Contractors® Bootcamp, the Wingman SOARR™ Mastermind, and 7 Habits for Winning in Federal Contracting™, we help novice and the most experienced industry leaders and professionals develop their tradecraft. Our objectives are helping them to efficiently and intentionally engage with buyers, customers, partners, and stakeholders to find and win contracting and subcontracting opportunities that help U.S. Government agencies improve their performance, and achieve their objectives.

We were originally calling this episode "The Photobooth Sponsorship is Mine!!!" but we toned it down just a bit. If you can't tell, this is one of several goofy fun episodes with people we consider framily (Thanks WIPP!). That's right. Business colleagues who have become good friends, so much so that they're stuck with us!

I shared a poll on LinkedIn to get feedback about pre-award protests to understand what would trigger someone to pursue that course of action. After receiving 54 votes from Industry and Government, the results indicated evaluation criteria as the top reason for those responding. Responses were submitted by small and large companies, and representatives of federal agencies, too.
One of those re...

That’s until you realize the impact of the host organizations, U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC), and U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC). Toget...
