Acquisition Support

Acquisition support
with technical depth.

When procurement strategy, estimating, or evaluation work needs real software delivery judgment behind it, Intelligrit can help.

Federal procurement expertise that understands software reality.

Nicole Mazkour served as State Department branch chief and spent 10 years at State within a 20+ year federal procurement career. She knows what contracting officers look for, how independent government cost estimates work, and where vendors typically hide risk. When she's on your team, you have an insider who can read between the lines of any RFP.

Independent Cost Estimate

A defensible, AI-assisted IGCE that you can put in front of a CO without embarrassment — or hand to your CO to evaluate what vendors are quoting.

  • Scope analysis from existing documentation
  • AI-assisted effort estimation by work category
  • Market rate validation and benchmarking
  • Risk-adjusted cost ranges with assumptions
  • Defensible methodology documentation

RFP Development

Requirements written by engineers who've delivered the work — not by contractors who've only managed it.

  • Technical requirements that vendors can actually bid
  • Evaluation criteria tied to real delivery outcomes
  • PWS / SOW drafting and review
  • Section L/M alignment
  • Protest-resistant evaluation design

Proposal Evaluation Support

When proposals come in, you need evaluators who understand what vendors are actually promising. We spot the gaps.

  • Technical approach scoring and commentary
  • Risk identification in proposed methodologies
  • Past performance assessment
  • Price reasonableness analysis
  • Source selection documentation support

Strategic Sourcing Advising

Before you write the RFP, make sure you're buying the right thing. We help define what to buy and how to structure the acquisition.

  • Acquisition strategy development
  • Contract type selection (T&M vs. FFP vs. IDIQ)
  • Market research and industry analysis
  • Small business strategy and set-aside guidance
  • FAR/DFARS compliance review

Why This Is Different

Most acquisition consultants come from the contracting side and have never delivered a software project. We bring both: Nicole's 20+ years of federal procurement experience, paired with our engineers who have actually built the systems being contracted for.

That combination helps agencies buy more clearly, evaluate more realistically, and reduce the delivery risk that gets hidden in polished proposals.
