The Federal Staffing Challenge

Federal agencies need your talent, but finding the right opportunities at the right time is harder than it should be.

🔍

Hidden Task Orders

Most staff augmentation work comes through task orders under existing IDIQs. By the time you see them on SAM.gov, primes have already been positioning for weeks.

⏱️

Short Turnarounds

Staffing solicitations often have 7-14 day response windows. You need to know about them immediately and have your clearance-eligible candidates ready to go.

🎯

Clearance Matching

Defense and intel contracts require specific clearance levels. Without filters for Secret, TS, or TS/SCI requirements, you waste time on opportunities you can't fill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GSA Schedule to compete for federal staffing contracts?

Not always. While GSA Schedule 738 (HR & Staffing Solutions) gives you access to task order competitions, many agencies also post open market staffing opportunities directly on SAM.gov. However, having a GSA Schedule significantly increases your addressable market since many agencies prefer to buy from schedule holders.

What labor categories are in highest demand in federal staffing?

The top in-demand categories are: IT professionals (software developers, cybersecurity analysts, data scientists), program/project managers, administrative support, engineering professionals, and healthcare workers. Clearance requirements vary by agency, with defense and intelligence agencies requiring Secret or TS/SCI for many positions.

How do staffing agencies find subcontracting opportunities with primes?

Prime contractors often need staffing partners to fulfill labor category requirements on large contracts. Our platform provides contact information for Small Business Liaison Officers (SBLOs) at major primes like Booz Allen, Leidos, CACI, and Peraton. We also track which primes are winning staff augmentation contracts and when they'll need subcontractor support.

What's the difference between staff augmentation and managed services contracts?

Staff augmentation contracts provide individual labor categories (essentially "bodies") to augment the agency's existing team. The agency manages the work. Managed services contracts (NAICS 541611, 541512, etc.) involve delivering outcomes or services where your company manages the team. Many staffing agencies pursue both types.

How long does it take to win your first federal staffing contract?

For agencies with an established commercial track record, expect 6-12 months from SAM.gov registration to first win. The timeline shortens if you: (1) pursue subcontracting first to build past performance, (2) target smaller task orders ($100K-$500K) instead of large prime contracts, and (3) focus on 2-3 labor categories where you have deep bench strength.
