Core capability

Be a better partner to government.

FCI's acquisition practice helps organizations communicate their value clearly, price their work defensibly, and run clean supply chains — the three things every federal customer is actually evaluating. Bid through award, with FCI Vantage behind the supplier compliance work.

Supply-chain compliance, at a glance.

The posture view FCI Vantage maintains across customer supply chains — frameworks tracked, suppliers under oversight, and audit-readiness in a single place.

Services we deliver

The acquisition discipline, with supply chain at the center.

FCI's acquisition practice covers the work from contract documents through ongoing supplier compliance. The proposal and capture work that gets you in the door — and the supply chain compliance work that keeps you there.

01 · Pursuit

Proposals, Capture & BD

From the opportunity scan to the orals dry-run — the full pursuit discipline that turns interest into a winning submission.

Opportunity identification & capture planning Proposal writing, color-team reviews & production Pricing strategy & cost-volume builds Orals coaching, mock SEBs & speaker rehearsal
02 · Contract Writing

Contract Writing & Documentation

The contractual documents that turn an award into a program that actually runs — drafted, negotiated, and administered through the life of the contract.

Subcontract agreements & flow-down clauses Teaming agreements & joint-venture structures Statement of Work (SOW) and PWS drafting Task orders, modifications & change orders NDAs, MOAs, MOUs & data-rights provisions Contract administration & close-out documentation
03 · Vehicles

Contract Vehicle Strategy

The map of which schedule, GWAC, or BPA you should be on — and the proposal work that gets you there. Federal pathways for new and incumbent contractors.

GSA MAS positioning & SIN strategy OASIS+, GWAC & agency BPA pursuit Small-business pathways & certifications Teaming structures & mentor-protégé arrangements
04 · Pricing

Pricing Strategy & Cost Volumes

The cost story that survives price-to-win analysis and federal cost-realism reviews. Defensible, traceable, competitive.

Price-to-win & competitive benchmarking Cost-volume builds & basis-of-estimate Indirect rate strategy & provisional billing DCAA-aligned narrative & full audit backup
Why FCI

What changes when our practice runs the pursuit.

Plenty of firms can write a proposal. Fewer can stand up the whole acquisition lifecycle — capture, write, price, present, and then run the compliance story for the years that follow the award.

01

Capture through award, one team.

The team that scopes the opportunity writes the proposal, prices the cost volume, and walks into orals. No baton-passing — the strategy stays intact from gate review to submission.

02

Customer-first writing.

Every section is written to what the customer is actually evaluating — not to what you want to say. Compliance matrices, evaluation-factor scoring trees, and the discipline that turns features into evidence.

04

Pro-government posture.

Our job is making you a better partner to government, not gaming the evaluation. Clearer proposals, cleaner supply chains, defensible pricing — what your customer actually wants from a contractor.

Featured · FCI Vantage

The platform behind your supplier compliance.

FCI Vantage is our Supplier Risk & Relationship platform — the SCRMS we operate inside every supply-chain compliance engagement. Vet new suppliers in days, monitor risk continuously, prove compliance on demand.

Built on Appian

The platform behind the platform.

FCI Vantage is built on Appian, the low-code platform that runs federal-grade case management, vendor management, and acquisition workflows across DoD, civilian agencies, and the largest federal primes. We chose Appian because it gives us — and you — the things federal contracting actually requires: configurability, defensibility, and a platform that's still going to be there in ten years.

Appian × FCI Advisory FCI is an authorized Appian partner. Vantage extends Appian's Vendor Management module into a federal SCRMS workspace — built end to end, run inside our engagements. Appian Government Cloud · FedRAMP authorized · low-code configurable · multi-tenant by design. See the Appian × FCI partner page →

Low-code & configurable.

Vantage starts from Appian's Vendor Management out-of-the-box solution, then gets extended for the specific compliance workflows your contracts actually require. New field, new check, new report — days, not quarters.

Future-proof by upgrade.

Every Appian platform release rolls into Vantage. You're not just upgrading your application — you're upgrading the components underneath it. The platform improves on its own, and your workspace gets better with it.

Process-driven data creation.

Every supplier action, invoice, attestation, and message creates auditable data automatically. Your spend reports, your compliance evidence, your CPARS responses — drafted from the work the team is already doing.

Data Anywhere integration.

Vantage connects to your SAM.gov sync, supplier master, ERP, invoicing system, and contract writing system — your data stays where it lives, Vantage pulls it in for the workflow. Zero-trust by design.
