Leatherneck Federal Consulting — Prepared for Pathways 2 Solutions
Built from public federal records only — USAspending, SAM.gov, and the GSA eLibrary. No proprietary or confidential company information was accessed. Every figure below about the federal record can be checked there; socioeconomic certifications come from SBA's certification search.

Your schedule runs to 2036.
Your next option is November 20.
— the public record can't show the file that keeps it.

Pathways 2 Solutions holds an established federal portfolio — 11 prime awards, five agencies, $3.07M on the public record — and one live GSA — General Services Administrationthe federal agency that runs schedulesGSA vehicle. Option exercise is not automatic — before it happens, the contracting officer must document the price, performance, and other factors supporting the decision, and the next option lands 20 November.

The gap

Everything — except what the record can't show.

The public record shows real federal work. It cannot show what keeps it. Whether any function owns the contract file, reconciles the orders, and produces the evidence a contracting officer accepts at the option window is the question the diagnostic is built to answer.

What the record shows
  • 11 prime awards, $3.07M across five agencies — VA — US Department of Veterans Affairsthe federal veterans agencyVA, GSA, SBA, Interior, USDA — US Department of Agriculturethe federal agriculture agencyUSDA.
  • One live GSA MAS vehicle — GSA MAS GS-00F-049GA, option ends 20 Nov 2026, ultimate end 20 Nov 2036.
  • The Boots to Business pair, $1.47M (48.0% of the file) — a B2B — Boots to Businessthe SBA veteran-entrepreneurship programB2B lifecycle on the record, and no option file appears in the record.
  • Every current award end date has passed — the last one, the GSA-side order, on 05 May 2026.
What the record cannot show
  • No contract or compliance function is visible on the record — and the public sources name no owner of the contract file, the schedule, or the reporting calendar.
  • Current-versus-potential reconciliation does not appear on the record — the end dates disagree, and the public sources do not resolve them. The question the record cannot answer is ownership: whether anyone holds that reconciliation today. That is transfer-of-knowledge risk — for any firm, when the person holding the contract file leaves, the artifacts go stale and the reconciliation becomes hard to reconstruct.
  • MAS hygiene and IFF — Industrial Funding Feethe ~0.75% fee paid to GSA on schedule salesIFF — fee remittance, catalog and SIN — Special Item Numberthe category code on a GSA scheduleSIN currency, labor-category integrity, contract modification and option readiness.
  • File and folder structure the auditor can pull on demand — no such taxonomy appears on the record.
  • Flow-down inventory — subcontract work means prime clauses flow down, and someone must inventory them.
Option exercise is not automatic. Before exercise, the contracting officer must document the price, performance, and other factors supporting the decision — and the option decision is supported by price, performance, continuity, and the contract-file record, not performance alone.
Where it starts

The Federal Contract Continuity Diagnostic

$5,000 · fixed · a defined first increment of the LFC Methodology · visible math
$5,000 = 0.16% of the $3,069,084.26 register.
If the review shows you're already in good shape, we'll say so in writing.
1. Schedule & order map

Full register of contracts, modifications, options, SIN/NAICS alignment, and reporting/fee controls.

2. Evidence gap read

Current-versus-potential end dates reconciled — the ledger that tests whether the file would survive an auditor's pull. What the record says, what it doesn't, and what to ask for.

3. Remediation queue

An executive-ready queue that builds the framework for the audit — prioritized so every record is pullable on demand: a taxonomy aligned to what DCAA looks for in competent contract execution teams.

The deliverable

A Readiness Review for the November option package — a gap register of the option-exercise file, covering the contract-file determination the contracting officer must document before exercise (FAR 17.207), cost and price analysis, and file audit readiness. The output is a contract-record analysis, a taxonomy for execution, and what the contracting officer will look for — plus potential support thereafter to build the file out. It supports retaining the current contract and winning option periods. It stops being a scramble every time an auditor, CO — Contracting Officerthe government official who awards/administers the contractCO, or new hire asks, because the taxonomy and the evidence base are built, owned, and pullable on demand.

Why Leatherneck

Three reasons, all verifiable.

Evidence, not theory

Every figure on this page is cited to the public record — USAspending, SAM — System for Award Managementthe federal vendor registration databaseSAM.gov, GSA eLibrary. No confidential sources, no speculation.

Firm-fixed-price

Every row is a named product with a published menu price. You know the number up front — no hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

The framework is the method

LFC OORAH (trademark pending) is a named, gated product line — five phases, each with an entry criterion, an exit artifact, and a price.

The ledger — the open position

Eleven awards. One schedule. One open position.

This is the full register the public record can already build — every PIID, value, and date. One requirement carries the open position: a single Boots to Business marketing and outreach scope, delivered as two consecutive orders on two different vehicles. Both current periods have passed; $1,472,014.99 — 48.0% of the lifetime file — sits between them.

What the public record cannot show

Four questions this register cannot answer — and which the diagnostic is built to resolve.

  • Whether the contract file, the schedule records, and the reporting calendar are already owned and current.
  • Whether the option periods on the two consecutive Boots to Business orders were exercised, extended, or allowed to lapse.
  • Whether the end-date disagreements in the record reflect the contract as it actually stands today.
  • Whether any clause flows down that attaches a security or privacy framework to this work.

Every figure above comes from those public sources. What they cannot show is where the diagnostic begins.

The method

Five stages. One motion: from gap assessment to audit-ready. Oorah.

The continuity diagnostic is the wedge that makes the lifecycle hold.

01

ORIENT

Scope & Federal Baseline
  • Contract and modification register — the two open B2B orders, current versus potential end dates reconciled
  • The costed gap register — what is missing, ranked by exposure, with the cost to close it
  • Core baseline screen — market, infrastructure/DCAA, and one consolidated regulatory, safety and cyber screen
  • Applicability screen — whether any clause flows down that attaches a security or privacy framework; nothing else is assumed
  • The stance: you're past the RFI — Request for Informationthe government's early market askRFI, RFP — Request for Proposalthe government's formal solicitationRFP/RFQ — Request for Quotethe government's quote solicitationRFQ — you've won the award… now the real work starts. The work is led by a principal who served as a Contracts Manager at DCMA — Defense Contract Management Agencythe agency that oversees contract performanceDCMA, holds DAWIA Level III (1102) certification, and has twenty-plus years leading federal contracts and compliance — the framework for the audit that is expected.
  • Clause-level applicability determination — NIST — National Institute of Standards and Technologythe US standards body behind 800-171NIST SP 800-171 / SPRS — Supplier Performance Risk Systemthe DoD scoring system for CUI handlingSPRS where clauses flow down, VA privacy / HIPAA where PHI exists, nothing otherwise
The deliverable is a Readiness Review for the November option package.
Add-ons to this tier, each scoped separately and quoted in writing before commitment: the five-workstream Standard baseline (SIN/NAICS and price-list integrity, IFF and sales reporting, flow-down inventory, clause-level applicability determination), the full 110-control NIST SP 800-171 baseline, and the option-package build-out.

REMEDIATE

Implement & Document

The CO's option review is a file question. The applicable slice — evidence, SOP, records discipline — scoped per ORIENT findings.

04

ASSESS

Validate & Rehearse

A mock of the CO's option-exercise review — not a CMMC mock.
