Reducing Friction in GovCon: How OnFrontiers Supports an Agile Capture Strategy

Jason, an Executive Director with a decade in defense business development, needed an Air Force expert who could answer tough questions about mission challenges and contract strategies—not generic advice. 

Within days, OnFrontiers connected him with Eric, a 30-year Air Force Colonel who "nailed every hard question" and transformed his team's confidence in their critical pursuit. Five additional hours of consultation later, Jason's proposal was dramatically stronger.

Federal procurement has become fiercer—with stricter requirements, tighter competition, and shifting priorities that demand unprecedented agility from contractors.

But achieving the agility needed to win requires more than just good intentions—it demands proactive expert-driven intelligence, on-demand specialized talent, and seamless access to the right insights at the right time.

At OnFrontiers, we've cracked the code on agile capture by eliminating the friction that typically slows down smaller firms. Through four strategic initiatives, we've created an ecosystem that helps contractors move at the speed of opportunity—turning weeks-long processes into days, and guesswork into informed strategy.

1. Rapid Opportunity Assessments: Cut Research Time by 80%

The Problem: Most capture leaders spend days combing through limited data in market intelligence tools, only to end up with surface-level insights that don't actually help them win.

Our Solution: Our Rapid Opportunity Assessments deliver 5-6x the detail you'd find in traditional market research tools, complete with a curated SME shortlist and ready-to-execute engagement plan. Instead of spending weeks on preliminary research, you get deep market intelligence and direct access to experts who've worked the program, understand the customer's pain points, and know what it takes to win. We are seeing a 50% improvement in conversion from Gate 1 to 2 with our assessments.

2. Capture Intelligence Briefings: Enterprise-Level Insights Without Enterprise Overhead

The Problem: Large firms have dedicated capture teams conducting dozens of stakeholder interviews and building comprehensive competitive intelligence. Smaller firms? They're making million-dollar bid decisions based on public information and best guesses.

Our Solution: Capture Intelligence Briefings level the playing field by putting our experts to work for you. We conduct the stakeholder interviews, analyze the competitive landscape, and synthesize everything into actionable capture artifacts—the same caliber of intelligence that only Fortune 500 contractors typically access.

These briefings combine open-source research with human expertise from professionals who've actually worked with your target agencies. Whether you need to understand why the incumbent lost last time, identify the real decision-makers, or uncover the unstated requirements that will determine the winner, our briefings give you the insider perspective needed to craft a winning strategy.

3. Capture Team Augmentation: Deploy Winning Talent in Hours, Not Months

The Problem: Building a full capture team means months of recruiting, hefty overhead costs, and the risk of keeping expensive talent on the bench between opportunities.

Our Solution: We've assembled a curated roster of growth pros—capture managers, pricing specialists, solution architects, proposal writers, and business developers—all with proven track records on winning federal contracts. These aren't generalists; they're specialists who've been vetted for their expertise in specific agencies, contract vehicles, and technical domains.

Deploy them by the hour for specific opportunities, or engage them for longer engagements when you need sustained support. You get the benefit of senior-level expertise without the overhead, and the flexibility to scale your team up or down based on your pipeline.

The Bottom Line: Your Competition Isn't Waiting

While your competitors are still playing the old game—reacting to RFPs, conducting surface-level research, and making gut-feeling bid decisions—the winners are already three steps ahead. They're building relationships before opportunities hit the street, leveraging deep market intelligence, and deploying specialized expertise exactly when and where they need it.

The question isn't whether you need more agility in your capture process. The question is: How much longer can you afford to operate without it?
