IT & Cybersecurity · An 8(a), woman-owned IT services firm
How a woman-owned 8(a) IT firm won a ~$49M SBA IT services contract
A woman-owned 8(a) IT firm won a ~$49M SBA IT services vehicle with a data-driven, compliant GovHub proposal.
Illustrative scenario. An anonymized, representative example grounded in public federal award data (SAM.gov / FPDS) — it shows the kind of outcome GovHub is built to enable, not a claim about a specific named company.
- Contract value: ~$49,000,000 (base + four option years)
- Timeframe: Compressed proposal timeline
- Time saved: Faster turnaround
The challenge
A large IT-consolidation vehicle — 24/7 network monitoring, incident management, and full service-desk operations — requires a detailed technical solution, robust transition and quality-assurance plans, multi-agency past performance, and competitive pricing across a multi-year period. Teaming with a partner adds role-definition and compliance complexity.
How GovHub helped
GovHub aggregated historical SBA and federal IT contract data from SAM.gov/FPDS, analyzed incumbent performance and pricing benchmarks, and pulled agency-specific evaluation criteria. It generated compliant technical volumes covering monitoring, incident management, and service-desk operations, plus management, quality, and transition approaches, and automatically mapped past performance across agencies. Real-time scoring kept the response aligned with FAR, SBA-specific, and cybersecurity requirements, while teaming tools streamlined coordination with the prime partner.
Results
- The team won the multi-year IT services vehicle
- Proposal timeline significantly compressed
- Strong technical score and competitive pricing position
- Expanded the firm’s federal IT and cybersecurity footprint
