CIG’s primary mission is to assist companies in acquiring government contracts and more specifically, the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Schedule contract. The GSA Schedule contract is the primary contract vehicle used by federal agencies to purchase products and services. The GSA Schedules are a comprehensive, categorical offering of almost every product and service available. These Schedule contracts are long term Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) containing pre-negotiated prices, delivery terms, warranties, and other terms and conditions. It is CIG’s goal to help businesses improve their financial bottom line and become more competitive in the federal market place.

CIG has a team of professional consultants with over 20 years of government contracting and procurement experience. Many of our consultants are highly skilled negotiators with technical backgrounds such as Project Managers, Proposal Specialists, Cost Analysts and Technical Writers. The President of CIG is a former GSA Contracting Officer with over 18 years of contracting experience in multiple award schedules and information technology related procurements. This vast experience enables CIG to better understand the contracting needs of our clients thereby facilitating the acquisition of a GSA Schedule.

CIG provides quality assurance support, pre-award support, contract award support, contract management support, business development, marketing support and intense training to our clients in order to insure successful navigation through government organizational changes and challenging market conditions.
