For Capture Directors, Offset Teams & Prime Bidding Consortia
When technical scores between competing primes are separated by razor-thin margins, the 15% to 20% evaluation weight on domestic industrial participation and local value propositions decides the award. We build evidenced, work-package-matched domestic supplier benches so your bid scores higher and avoids post-award delivery defaults.
Replace months of trade-show self-reporting with sourced supplier dossiers
Structure direct and indirect work packages across every required region
Identify production-ready partners with documented technical capabilities
Verify shop-floor envelopes before signing binding post-award offset obligations

The outcomes we enable
We do not sell generic industry overviews or software seats. Every engagement delivers the verified evidence, cost models and company shortlists needed to execute.
Outcome 01 · Higher Bid Scores
Evaluators penalize vague promises and recycled Tier-1 names. We deliver named, work-package-matched Tier-2 and Tier-3 domestic suppliers with documented certifications, export track records and R&D collaboration fit.
Delivered artifact
Submission-ready supplier bench organized by work package, region and multiplier category.
Outcome 02 · Default Avoidance
Signing binding 100% domestic offset commitments with unverified small suppliers creates severe post-award penalty exposure. We check physical machining envelopes, quality systems and headcount before you lock them into your bid.
Delivered artifact
Supplier readiness ledger separating 'Can serve today' from 'Could qualify with investment'.
Outcome 03 · Regional & SME Balance
We screen beyond the obvious aerospace hubs to surface high-capability civilian and dual-use manufacturers across under-represented regions that can absorb sustainment, tooling and sub-assembly packages.
Delivered artifact
Balanced regional and small-business partner slate with outreach openers.

How to start
We can provide regular research updates after the first project.
We provide the underlying industrial research: the evidenced supplier bench, capability-to-work-package mapping, regional gap sizing and company dossiers that your capture and offset teams use to substantiate the bid.
We look below the over-subscribed Tier-1 directory to identify high-precision civilian and dual-use manufacturers in adjacent sectors (energy, heavy rail, medical, nuclear, industrial automation) that hold transferable quality systems.
Yes. Engagement deliverables are confidential to the commissioning team, and we agree scope boundaries and NDA terms before starting.
An initial first-pass regional and work-package screen can be delivered in days, followed by deep-dive company briefs on your selected shortlist.
