Government Contract Teaming & Partner Strategy

DKA supports companies evaluate capability gaps, identify complementary teammates, define pursuit roles and align the combined team with a government solicitation or contract vehicle.

Teaming & partner strategy

Build the team around the requirement.

Some government opportunities require experience, geographic coverage, certifications, personnel, products or technical capabilities that are difficult for one company to provide alone. DKA supports clients think strategically about the team needed to compete.

Identify capability gaps and complementary partners

We can help compare the solicitation requirements against the client's capabilities, identify gaps, and evaluate the kinds of teammates that would strengthen the pursuit. The objective is not simply to assemble a large team; it is to create a team whose combined capabilities and experience align clearly with the requirement.

Coordinate the team's proposal story

Once a team is established, DKA can help organize roles, proposal responsibilities, past performance inputs and technical content so the response explains how the team will perform as one integrated solution.

Joint venture and contract vehicle pursuits

For opportunities or vehicles involving joint ventures, DKA can support the procurement and proposal side of the pursuit, including aligning member information and capabilities with the solicitation. Legal formation and agreement drafting should be handled by qualified counsel.
