SOAR LLC helps defense contractors and commercial companies navigate federal markets — from building acquisition pathways and growing BD pipelines, to positioning dual-use technologies and supporting C5ISR, intelligence, and S&T-focused pursuits.
End-to-end federal market strategy — target agency identification, contract vehicle selection, competitive positioning, and pipeline development. We bring particular depth in C5ISR, intelligence, and S&T-intensive program environments.
We guide commercial companies through the full journey of entering federal markets — SAM registration, NAICS positioning, contract vehicle strategy, and compliance foundations — with a focus on dual-use technology opportunities.
Opportunity identification, pipeline development, teaming strategy, and capture support for contractors pursuing DoW, IC, and civilian agency contracts. We know where the money is moving and how to position you to win it.
Continuous monitoring of procurement signals, agency forecasts, and competitive landscapes — delivered as actionable weekly intelligence tailored to your capabilities and target programs, including C5ISR and intelligence community vehicles.
We help technology companies — particularly those with dual-use or S&T-rooted capabilities — translate their solutions into federal value propositions, including OTA pathways, SBIR/STTR strategy, and rapid acquisition mechanisms.
Executive-level advisory for leadership teams navigating federal market entry, organizational BD strategy, and the complexities of defense and intelligence acquisition — drawing on deep operational and policy expertise.
Understanding what to sell is only half the equation. Knowing how the government buys — and which mechanism fits your capability and timeline — is where deals are won or lost. We guide clients through every major federal acquisition pathway.
The fastest way to get a commercial capability in front of DoW decision-makers. We help clients design, scope, and position technology demonstrations through commands like AFWERX, SOFWERX, Army Futures Command, and service-level innovation hubs — turning pilots into programs of record.
OTAs offer speed and flexibility that traditional FAR-based contracting can't match — no sealed bidding, streamlined competition, and faster time to award. We help clients identify OTA consortium opportunities, structure prototype agreements, and navigate the transition from OTA prototype to follow-on production contract.
CSOs are an emerging and underutilized pathway that allow agencies to acquire innovative commercial solutions outside traditional procurement rules. We help clients identify agencies actively using CSOs, craft compelling solution submissions, and position for award in this competitive but less crowded space.
The Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs are the primary federal R&D funding mechanism for small technology firms. We help clients identify the right agencies and topics, develop compelling Phase I and II proposals, and build a commercialization strategy that bridges research to acquisition.
Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts and GSA Schedules are the workhorses of federal IT and professional services procurement. We help clients get on the right vehicles, position their offerings competitively, and develop task order strategies that drive consistent revenue across DoW and civilian agencies.
Traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation contracting remains the backbone of federal procurement. We help clients navigate full-and-open competition, set-aside strategies, source selection, and proposal development — ensuring your team is positioned to win in both competitive and sole-source environments.
Our advisory practice is grounded in deep domain expertise across the technology areas where federal investment and mission demand are most concentrated.
Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance — one of DoW's highest-priority investment domains. We help clients navigate C5ISR programs, shape requirements, and compete for contracts across the joint force.
Federal cybersecurity requirements are accelerating — from CMMC Level 2 compliance to Zero Trust Architecture mandates across DoW and civilian agencies. We help clients build compliant postures and position their solutions for federal adoption.
Quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum networking are emerging as critical federal investment areas. We help clients identify dual-use pathways and position quantum capabilities for DoW and IC programs including timing, PNT, and communications.
AI and machine learning are reshaping federal acquisition priorities across the DoW and intelligence community. We help clients navigate DoW AI strategy, position AI-enabled capabilities, and pursue OTA and rapid acquisition pathways.
Strategy, Operations, Analysis, and Research LLC (SOAR) is an advisory firm operating at the intersection of four high-demand defense and federal market domains: dual-use technology, C5ISR, scientific & technical expertise, and intelligence.
