Full-Service Teaming Support Service 

THE WHAT

A full‑service teaming support offering that connects companies with potential teaming partners — and gives you the structure, clarity, and support needed to confidently explore teaming relationships, prepare compliant proposals, and perform U.S. federal contracts together.

You receive potential partner identification, a guided alignment call framework, introductions, a written work‑allocation strategy, and teaming agreement support, all delivered within tight 24–48 hour timelines.

Velvet Group acts as your guide throughout this process. We rely on years of experience selecting experts and preparing witnesses for trial, and apply that same rigor, discernment, and structured evaluation to the U.S. federal government contracting landscape. Ultimately, you and your potential teaming partners decide whether you want to work together, how to share proposal responsibilities, and how to structure your teaming agreement. Our role is to provide clarity, structure, and informed support at every step.

From the moment an opportunity is identified, we work closely with you to identify and contact potential teaming partners, and to structure draft agreements concerning the allocation of work for both proposal preparation and contract performance if awarded.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This service is designed for:

• Small and emerging businesses seeking access to opportunities they cannot pursue alone

• Mid‑sized firms looking to expand capabilities or enter new agencies

• Large businesses seeking to build long‑term, mutually beneficial partnerships with qualified small businesses — partnerships that strengthen their supply chain, fill skills gaps, and support shared success across local communities and the federal marketplace

• Any company that wants a structured, fast, and confident path to forming a compliant, competitive teaming relationship

If you want a partner to handle the outreach, alignment, workshare strategy, and teaming agreement support — this is the right tier.

THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES

Many companies come across federal opportunities that spark interest and seem like transformative possibilities — contracts that could expand their capabilities, increase revenue, or open the door to long‑term government work.

But they never take the first step.

They hesitate because:

• they don’t have all the required capabilities

• they can’t perform the full scope alone

• they lack proposal‑writing capacity

• they’ve never teamed before

• they don’t know how to structure the work

• they’re unsure how to protect themselves legally and operationally

• they assume “someone else will win it”

• they don’t know where to find potential partners

As a result, companies pass up on opportunities they search for, bookmark, and dream about — opportunities that will be awarded to some company.

At the same time, larger or more established companies often have strategic, ecosystem‑building motivations for teaming:

• teaming helps large companies identify smaller firms and skilled professionals who can fill long‑term skills gaps

• they may team to strengthen their supply chain with additional suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors

• they value introductions to capable small businesses they can trust and build ongoing working relationships with

• they may pursue set‑aside opportunities not out of need, but because they support mentorship, capacity‑building, and shared success across the industry

Teaming is the bridge between these two realities.

It is not just a workaround for companies who feel stretched thin — it is a scaling strategy that creates reciprocal value:

• Small and emerging businesses gain access to contracts they would not qualify for based solely on their current capacity or past performance.

• Larger companies strengthen their supply chain, fill skills gaps, and build long‑term partnerships with reliable small businesses.

• Both parties expand their competitiveness, capabilities, and long‑term revenue potential.

WHAT THIS SERVICE PROVIDES

This service helps your company identify potential teaming partners — and gives you the structure, clarity, and confidence to explore teaming relationships, prepare compliant proposals, and perform U.S. federal contracts together.

YOU RECEIVE 

1. Identification of Potential Teaming Partners

Based on the SAM.gov notice you provide, Velvet Group:

• reviews the notice

• reviews your capabilities using publicly available information (your website, online presence, etc.)

2. Within 24 hours of receiving your order, Velvet Group:

• reaches out to schedule the 30‑minute call

• may email clarifying questions based on the notice requirements and publicly available information

3. During the call, we clarify:

• your capabilities in relation to the specific notice

• your teaming preferences

• any requirements or constraints you have for potential partners

4. With the Full‑Service Teaming Support option, after the initial 30‑minute call, you receive:

5.. A Curated List of Potential Teaming Partners

Delivered within 24–48 hours after the call.

6. Guided Alignment Call (Before Outreach)

Before any introductions are made, Velvet Group provides a structured alignment call framework to help you:

• clarify what you are seeking in a teaming partner

• identify your preferred division of proposal responsibilities

• identify your preferred division of performance responsibilities

• understand key risks and considerations

• prepare for outreach and introductions

This ensures you enter the introduction phase with clarity and confidence.

7. Introductions to Potential Teaming Partners

After you select which potential partners you want to pursue, Velvet Group conducts outreach on your behalf to contact and introduce you to those companies.

Within 48–72 hours of your selections, Velvet Group schedules a group introduction call to explore a possible teaming partnership.

8. During this introduction call, Velvet Group provides:

• a draft proposal work‑allocation outline

• a draft performance work‑allocation outline

• a draft teaming agreement for discussion

This gives both parties a structured starting point for evaluating the relationship.

9. Work Allocation Strategy (Proposal + Performance)

Within 24–48 hours after a potential teaming partner is identified and approved (or a full team is assembled), Velvet Group provides a written report with structured recommendations for how the teaming partners can divide:

• proposal responsibilities

• technical writing

• pricing inputs

• compliance tasks

• performance obligations

• deliverables

• reporting requirements

This gives both companies clarity and confidence before committing.

10. Teaming Agreement Drafting Support

Within 24–48 hours after the team is confirmed, you receive:

• teaming agreement templates

• guidance on key clauses such as scope, exclusivity, confidentiality, payment, and dispute resolution

• support in preparing a custom teaming agreement that reflects the agreed division of work and protects both parties

This helps ensure the relationship is structured, fair, and ready for proposal submission or contract performance.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Unlike traditional consultants who provide advice but leave the execution to you, Velvet Group delivers:

• hands‑on outreach to potential partners

• direct introductions

• structured alignment support

• fast 24–48 hour turnaround

• clear workshare recommendations

• teaming agreement drafting support

This is an end‑to‑end teaming solution designed for speed, clarity, and real‑world results.
