Description

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, we have Ryan Atencio, a former Army Special Operations veteran turned government contracting insider, to break down how federal contracts actually get created, evaluated, and awarded. Drawing from years spent as the end user, COR, and technical evaluator, Ryan pulls back the curtain on why supplies move faster than services, why construction is the most dangerous lane for small businesses, and how contractors can win by understanding how customers think—not how solicitations are written.

Key Takeaways

  • Supplies are the fastest, lowest-friction path to federal revenue

  • Professional services offer scale without construction risk

  • You don't need product expertise—just access to the customer
