Concade executes your acquisition portfolio for one fixed annual price. You buy the outcomes and the method that produces them, not our hours, so our only incentive is to deliver faster and with less friction.
| Hourly or T&M model | Concade | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Hours and labor categories | One fixed annual price for a scoped outcome portfolio |
| Performance risk | The Government carries overruns, up to the ceiling | Concade carries them. The price doesn't move |
| Workload changes | Added hours, ceiling increases, and modifications | Priced to a scoped volume band and re-baselined annually |
| Speed incentive | Faster execution reduces billings | Every incentive points to faster execution |
| What you see | Timesheets, rosters, and utilization reports | Outcomes and the volume metrics we priced against |
| Success measure | Hours delivered | Your outcome portfolio, delivered and accepted |
Concade works only in acquisition and program management: the actions, practices, and policies that get capability to the mission. We don't build, sell, or integrate the capabilities you acquire, so our recommendations stay vendor-neutral and we never compete for what we help you buy.
Your dedicated Concade team works inside your environment, on your equipment, under Government direction. An Engagement Lead is your single point of accountability, and independent senior review stands behind every deliverable.
Government officials make every decision and sign every agreement. FAR, OT, or CSO, the method is the same.
We map your action volume and timelines before pricing and at each annual re-baseline. Those same metrics are what we report against.
We find and remove the process friction that slows actions down.
We align the program office, requiring activity, contracting officer, legal, and finance on the plan before actions move. We bring the plan and the coordination; the Government owns every decision.
We run each action through a living playbook for its lane (FAR, OT, or CSO), updated as your organization evolves so execution speed holds and improves. Independent senior review comes before anything reaches the contracting officer.
Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation. We baseline the acquisition actions and program support you expect over the year, by type and complexity, and price the whole portfolio at one firm fixed price, re-baselined annually. You see the volume estimates behind that price, and they are the metrics we report against. The standard never changes with the dollar value: a simplified buy gets the same outcome-framed requirements and protest-ready documentation as a full and open source selection.
Pricing is scoped to your specific acquisition portfolio. Let's talk about your workload.
Concade was founded in 2026 by acquisition practitioners. Our founder is a former contracting officer with about 15 years of federal contracting experience across the Department and industry.
Our team designed the processes that move OT agreements from requirement to signature in days and weeks rather than months, and has executed awards through them repeatedly.
Our team built the CDAO Tradewinds ecosystem and Solutions Marketplace.
Our team negotiated and administered the Army's enterprise contract with Palantir, valued at up to $10 billion over 10 years.
We work with a small number of program offices and contracting centers at a time. If you have an acquisition that needs to move, or a whole portfolio that does, start here.
