Federal contracts aren't won by chasing contracting officers or blindly responding to solicitations—they're captured by getting to the customer first. In this episode, Ryan Atencio explains how large integrators lock in work by identifying key stakeholders, shaping requirements early, and turning services and supplies into unbeatable solutions. From becoming an "unbeatable incumbent" to using custom kits, access control strategies, and technical point-of-contact leverage, this episode reveals how contracts are quietly secured long before competition ever begins.
