U.S. Treasury for spending, FAR for acquisition,
2 CFR 200 for grants,

Business Ideas Across Federal, State, and Local Clients

• Grants Strategy and Delivery. Program design, 2 CFR 200 compliance, internal controls, and audit readiness from application to closeout with Grants.gov workflows.
• Procurement and GSA MAS Positioning. Assess fit for GSA Multiple Award Schedule, price builds, SIN selection, and scope alignment for IT and security cooperative purchasing.
• Federal Readiness. SAM.gov registration, representations and certifications, small business programs, and FAR interpretation for solicitations.
• PMO for Delivery. Outcome-based governance, risk and issue management, earned value and schedule tracking, and change adoption across agencies.
• Digital Service Delivery. Content, portals, forms, case management, accessibility, and cloud migration to reduce processing times and cost per case.
• Compliance and Internal Audit. Policies, procedures, and testing for grants and contracts, including allowability, procurement standards, and subrecipient monitoring.
• Data and Transparency. Dashboards tied to USAspending categories, FOIA readiness, and open data publication.
• State and Local Revenue and Tax. Property tax and state and local tax work that links finance, policy, and compliance.
• Infrastructure Programs. Advisory on scope, funding, and delivery models for transport, utilities, and civic projects.
• Workforce and Change. Sponsor alignment, communications, and training for new processes and platforms.

Federal Contracting Basics

• Register in SAM. Prime contractors must register. See SBA’s requirement.
• Know the FAR. Read parts relevant to your services and clauses that will land in your contract. Browse the official FAR.
• Consider GSA MAS. If your catalog fits, review the GSA MAS roadmap.

Grants Management Essentials

• Uniform Guidance. 2 CFR 200 defines cost principles, procurement standards, and audit requirements. See the eCFR text.
• Program Discovery. Search and filter opportunities on Grants.gov and review Assistance Listings.
