You already win in your market. Now sell to the largest buyer on earth.
Core-5 is the complete federal storefront of Core-4 plus the intelligence commercial entrants are missing: a custom market research report on exactly which agencies buy what you sell, the exact steps to subcontract, team, or bid directly, and an outreach strategy that gets you introduced, positioned, and building relationships before opportunities ever post.
Every lane open, and you're invited in
Commercial companies usually enter this market backwards: they wait for an RFP, bid cold, and lose to a firm the buyer already knows. Core-5 runs it in the right order. When we're done, you are directly connected to the people who make entrants successful: teaming partners, primes that hire firms like yours, and the agencies buying what you sell.
What you walk away with
No mystery boxes. This is the complete list, and what each piece does for you.
Everything in Core-2, 3 & 4
The storefrontThe complete federal presence beneath the strategy: SAM.gov registration, optimized SBA profile, NAICS and PSC alignment, capability statement, briefing deck, solicitation response template, a government-ready website with professional email, all professionally designed and delivered turnkey.
Every check a buyer runs before returning your call comes back clean. The introductions the strategy earns have somewhere credible to land.
Custom Market Research Report
IntelligenceIn-depth analysis of the federal market for your specific goods and services: the spending record for your codes, which agencies and buying offices purchase what you sell, how they buy it (vehicles, set-asides, award patterns), what they pay, and the exact steps to take — subcontract, team, or bid directly.
Most federal awards are made without a public posting on SAM.gov. The report shows you the buying that never hits the portal.
Transparency into contracting activity you cannot see from the commercial side. You stop guessing which agencies matter and start reading their spending like a ledger.
Federal Market Entry Strategy
StrategyThe report turned into direction: your commercial positioning translated into federal terms, a prioritized shortlist of target agencies, the vehicles and set-asides that fit your firm, and the sequence of moves for your first four quarters. Subcontracting and teaming are treated as what they are — the bridge to direct bidding.
Agencies spend over $40 billion a year on government purchase cards — buying that never sees a solicitation.
A market entry plan your leadership team can hold you to, grounded in award data, not conference-floor advice.
Outreach & Relationship Plan
IntroductionsThe playbook for getting in the room: who to contact at each target agency (program offices, small business specialists, teaming partners, and primes already holding the work), what to say and bring, how to sequence introductions, and how to convert a first meeting into a standing relationship.
Strategic outreach creates sole-source awards, and end-of-fiscal-year visibility turns relationships into contracts.
You are directly connected to the resources that make entrants successful — teaming partners, prime partners, and target agencies. Every lane open, and you are invited in.
“By the time a solicitation posts, the winner has usually been in the room for a year. Commercial companies that wait for the RFP are bidding on someone else's relationship.”

Before you ask
Shouldn’t we just bid on solicitations?
Not yet, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling proposal hours. Most firms don’t win direct bids because they shouldn’t be direct bidding yet. Subcontracting and teaming are the bridge: you earn past performance on a prime’s contract while the outreach program builds the relationships direct awards actually come from.
We already dominate our commercial market. Is federal really that different?
Yes, and that is the reason Core-5 exists. Federal buyers find vendors through codes, vet them through registrations, and award through relationships built quarters in advance. Commercial credentials matter, but only after the federal machinery can see them.
We have a strong commercial website. Why build another?
A federal buyer looks for different signals: NAICS codes, capability statement, set-aside status, past performance format. Commercial sites bury or omit all of them. The Core-5 storefront speaks buyer. If your current site already does, we will say so and scope accordingly.
How soon do we win something?
We will not pretend to know. The report maps your targets’ buying cycles, and the outreach plan positions you ahead of them. Positioning is ours to deliver. Awards follow relationships, and the plan is built to start them now.
More than you need right now?
The same research, strategy, and outreach program, framed for firms already in the market.
