Who we are

BlackFlag Advisors is a premier consulting firm specializing in Price-to-Win (PTW), Competitive Intelligence, and Strategic Wrap Rate Analysis for the federal contracting industry. We support clients at every phase of the capture lifecycle — from early pipeline generation and market positioning to full-scale PTW development and competitor assessments.

Our services bring clarity to the competitive environment, insight into how others will bid, and the pricing intelligence to win. We blend rigorous quantitative modeling with deep mission awareness to provide recommendations grounded in real-world analysis, not assumptions. Whether your focus is defense, intel, or civilian markets, we deliver strategic insight that makes the difference in competitive pursuits.

We have experience with all major DoD, Intel and Fed/Civ Agencies

Our differentiator is technical depth — and full transparency in how we work. While others rely on generic cost models or commercial heuristics, BlackFlag Advisors anchors our pricing strategy in engineering-driven bottoms-up estimates. We leverage technical subject matter experts to construct detailed, competitor-specific BOEs — capturing the real cost and operational structure behind each likely bid.

This engineering-forward approach gives our clients unmatched clarity into the competitive field. It allows us to model how bidders will staff, structure, price, and position — and provide PTW recommendations that are both analytically sound and tactically relevant.

We work with capture teams, pricing leaders, and executives across the GovCon landscape — from top-tier primes to emerging small businesses. At BlackFlag, we’re actively engaged in billion-dollar procurements, but we also support niche and mid-size programs where strategic positioning is just as critical.

Our clients span every sector of federal contracting: defense, intelligence, civilian, and emerging tech. Regardless of company size or contract value, we bring the same rigor, precision, and focus to every engagement.
