After winning billions of #govcon contracts and managing $100s of millions in annual revenue - I might know something about submitting proposals. Here’s my latest software to streamline and scale the output of my job: ptwsoftware.ai Appreciate any feedback out there.

Great job to @apmpofficial.bsky.social at the BPC conference

We got a new site up and running: ptwsoftware.ai

Proud of our latest updates for our salary prediction tool: occupational-client.netlify.app/dashboard

Any other Americans 🇺🇸 completely melt down when they listen to GnR’s “Civil War” like I do?

Did a salary analysis for Contracts Managers in the DC, Boston, Phoenix, and Huntsville areas.

Looking for some feedback on my salary #govcon #pricing prediction tool from some #hr folks or anyone willing to give it a test whirl: occupational-client.netlify.app/dashboard

Hey y’all! I’m excited to share a beta version of a “salary prediction” tool that I used to scale the output of my job 💪🤖 Users can query by job category, and location. Or by industry. New features coming… Appreciate any feedback out there. occupational-client.netlify.app/dashboard

Some rudimentary #dataviz for a new beta #govcon #pricing product that I've been building. I'm trying to predict salaries and leveraging in macro/microeconomic data for better insights. First pick is salaries and 2nd is unemployment

Working on some #dataviz This is something I quickly put together from the US Census. Each green dot are places where they are over 90% of people with health insurance. Red dots have less than 90% Dot size is based on total population

Some of the #govcon tools that I’ve been building and wanted to share SGP Pricing Tool Intro youtu.be/RJfGiGET-r8

A little bit of what I’ve been working in the #govcon #pricing space to help companies better price 🎯their next #proposal effort. Looking for a few beta testers in the next few months. Hit me up if interested. PTW estimating tool DL youtu.be/vw-n4YlUxMA

/3 For someone making $500k per year, because of this threshold, social security doesn’t get $40k…. Someone making a million, $102k, $10m, $1.2M. Curious what the everyone else thinks of this?

2/ Did you know that there are caps to the 6.2% that W2 workers pay, and the 6.2% that their employers pay; 12.4% if you’re self employed. That threshold for this year is $176.1k this year, which is almost $22k per person, this year. Why is there a threshold when the system is so “broke?”

1/ Ever since I was in college, in the late 90s, I’ve been hearing about how #insolvent #SocialSecurity #taxes will not be sufficient by the time I’m ready to retire, sometime in the 2040s.

So I once heard Elon Musk once say that socialism is "GDP as a percentage of Government/Private Sector." I thought to myself, I'd like to measure that... and so I did. The areas shaded in red below indicate when government contributions to GDP were greater than the private sector.

You can measure the GDP at the local level... total government versus private businesses.

🚨Hot off the Bureau of Labor Statistics presses... You should be using this data to validate your #govcon #proposal #pricing labor escalation. You can even drill down into a specific sector if you want to be fancy. www.bls.gov/news.release...

My family lost our first dog of 15 years about 6 months ago. So we decided to get a new pup… Introducing Banksy “Banks” Such a joy watching my children play with their new best friend

Great stuff here by @washingtonhorizon.com about #gsa

To understand #govcon pricing, you must understand how to calculate your fully loaded cost rate. You take your direct labor costs and multiply by your #wrap rate.

Doesn't GSA already do this?! federalnewsnetwork.com/reorganizati...

There’s something “right” in the world today, WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS ITS WRONG!

Thought I'd share this excellent #govcon #doge tracker from my friends over G2X: app.g2xchange.com/doge-tracker Check it out @mcuban.bsky.social

Good to know if you’re on a #gsa #govcon schedule or contemplating getting one

This is a good template for Fed workers to use in the #doge era

Thought I would share this from a #govcon insider as the #doge data reporting is dodgy. Check it out —-> www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p...

Guess we want seniors to be scammed now #doge

Always a good reminder... FOCUS on the things you can control!

Many folks who try to get into #govcon need to know the major tenets of the FAR📚 Those are: Promote #small business as much as possible Promote #competition to the maximum extend I'd argue in the #doge era that the feds are more effiecient than the State and Local, Edu (SLED) market. Fight me!

@mcuban.bsky.social I’ve been in #govcon this 2000 and using this data for decades. I’m not certain where the media is getting their data as usaspending isn’t corroborating much of it. Made this video a few years ago for folks to do their own queries youtu.be/darU6QzJoM8?...

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Thanks for sharing this #govcon article about #gsa @washingtonhorizon.com

My friend just discovered this on discord... #govcon #doge join.doge.gov

Have you heard of a GSA MAS schedule? This where $73 💰BILLION was spent during the last #govcon fiscal year (10/1/23 - 9/30/24) Over 19K companies have one of these #GSA schedules and the predominant spending categories are in IT and professional services.

I met another true #govcon expert in person (well on Teams) that I’ve followed on LinkedIn for several years. Anyway, I felt obliged to share her website which has a wealth of information for #smallbusiness who are interested in getting into the B2G market. www.fedsubk.com/library

My guy in NC-7 in #wilmingtonnc is #1 on this list. What’s the difference between being lucky 🍀 and insider trading?

Stop the run! #hailyeah

Feel so bad for little Danny on the ‘Skins recent success. Between the lawsuits, sexual harassment claims, congressional inquiries, cameras in cheerleaders locker rooms, and stealing from other #nfl owners. Such a hater!
