The Guide GSC Consortium
The right team, assembled around every opportunity.
The Guide GSC Consortium is a network of independent specialists and partner firms that team on federal opportunities. You bring the expertise; we bring the opportunities and lead the contract and proposal work on the pursuits we run. No dues to join.
What it is
Federal contracting rewards capability but punishes overhead capture, proposals and compliance can sink a talented specialist working alone. The consortium carries that load: Guide GSC brings a vetted network together and adds the right members to a team when an opportunity fits.
It's a working network of independent businesses, not a membership club and not a joint venture. We operate on an opportunity-by-opportunity basis. Each member is a separate company responsible for its own size, status, and certifications, and there are no dues members are paid based on engagement.
How it works
We carry the federal load.
Who is it for
Independent consultants
BD and proposal writers, pricers, compliance and DCAA specialists, program and contract managers, and SMEs in behavioral health, housing, workforce, IT, and more.
Partner firms
Independent small businesses, including certified firms (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB), and firms with niche capability, past performance, or contract vehicles. Your certifications and record strengthen the teams we field, and you keep them as your own.

How we team
We team in compliance with the FAR and SBA regulations. Members are independent businesses; teaming is specific to each opportunity under standard teaming or subcontract agreements; and when we prime a small‑business set‑aside, we perform the percentage required by the rules and partner for the rest.
Looking for a team?
If your organization needs a capable, compliant team to pursue or perform federal work — including mission‑driven nonprofits entering government contracting — the consortium can assemble one tailored to your goals.
