A short guide for federal contracting officers, program managers, FSOs, SSOs, security directors, and anyone in the cleared community who may refer a colleague or counterpart to Bedrock. The information below is the same information we use to qualify our own engagements. We post it openly so the people who might refer us can do so with confidence and so the people we cannot help can find the right path faster.
Bedrock provides advisory analysis based on customer-supplied information. Bedrock identifies gaps, risks, and recommended next actions against the published NISPOM, 32 CFR Part 117, ICD 705, and related standards. Bedrock does not guarantee compliance, accreditation, certification, inspection results, or government acceptance. Accreditation, certification, and inspection outcomes are agency determinations. The deliverable is an advisory opinion authored and signed by a cleared Bedrock principal.
This page is informational only and is not procurement advice. Federal customers should follow agency procedures, funding rules, cardholder limits, competition requirements, and contracting officer determinations. Bedrock can provide capability information, scope language, and fixed-fee advisory options. Acquisition path selection remains with the government.
Bedrock's category is a narrow one. We are the independent firm that owns the seams between design, install, and accreditation across the cleared facility lifecycle. The role exists because most primes and customers want an independent set of eyes on the security side of the work, separate from the entity building it.
A federal customer or referrer needs to know what we do not do so they can route work to the right place when our lane does not fit. We post the negative explicitly.
A transparent two-column read so anyone considering a referral can route the conversation accurately the first time.
Bedrock structures engagements to fit common federal acquisition pathways. Anchored against GSA CALC and BLS OES. Defensible to pricing review.
The Bedrock engagement model is built so a federal customer or referrer knows what the first three weeks will look like before the first call.
A thirty-minute call with a cleared Bedrock principal. We confirm scope, vehicle, schedule, and whether Bedrock is the right fit. If we are not the right fit, we say so on the call and route you toward a path that is. If we are the right fit, we send a draft engagement letter and the structured intake the same week.
Customer completes the structured intake at their own pace. Cleared principal reviews intake line by line, requests clarifications, and drafts the deliverable. Deliverable is a signed PDF authored by a cleared Bedrock principal. Optional debrief call after delivery.
Customer owns the deliverable. Bedrock retains a copy under controlled access for follow-on advisory engagements if requested. No data sold, no data transferred. No follow-on retainer required.
If you have a counterpart who might benefit from Bedrock, here is how to make the introduction count.
1. The scope. Is this an ICD 705 SCIF/SAPF question, a NISPOM industrial security question, an RMF overlay question, an FSO setup question, or something else? Even one sentence helps Bedrock route the call to the right cleared principal.
2. The vehicle. Is this a P-card buy, a simplified acquisition, a sub role under a prime, or a larger procurement? The vehicle shapes the engagement letter.
3. The timeline. Is there a DCSA inspection, an accreditation milestone, an RFP deadline, or a soft window? The timeline shapes the engagement schedule.

Bedrock will respond inside one business day. If the counterpart needs an NDA before the first substantive conversation, we sign a standard mutual NDA before the scoping call. References available upon request after mutual NDA.
First contact lands inside one business day. If the conversation is not the right fit for Bedrock, we route you to a path that is. If it is, we schedule the scoping call inside the same week.
