Who We Are
The GovEdge, Inc.. was founded in 2008 by Victoria Menifee. Since then, we have won over $212 million in funded contracts for our students, clients and ourselves. We offer government courses, government workshops, AI-enabled Business Development (BD), capture management, and proposal consulting services that helps Government Contractors win business and grow.
​
We deeply care about our staff, students, clients and our community and we believe in the value that Government contractors deliver in support and profit for their small businesses. Most bids we work on result in contracts with a tremendous impact on all government industries. This awareness fuels our team’s passion for crafting superior on-line courses, workshops and consulting with the goal of simplifying the entire government process for small business owners.
​
We have achieved success working with our clients by applying the following core values:

1. We Engage With Content
The GovEdge consultants learn what our clients do and dive into the details. Unlike consultants who stay on the surface merely “managing the process,” our consultants take ownership of the content to help develop the best solution possible for a specific proposal.
2. We Obsess About The Details
Winning Federal Government contracts requires precise responses to complicated technical requirements through compelling and compliant narrative and pricing. Mistakes are unforgiving. They could potentially disqualify the entire bid, costing jobs and impacting entire companies’ livelihoods. Our consultants don’t just triple-check. They quadruple-check everything because they understand and care about the impacts.

3. We Learn Continuously & Strive for Professional Excellence
Government Contractors are continuously seeking a competitive edge. They engage The GovEdge’s consultants, trusting us with their most important pursuits. Our consultants are both teachers and students of the Government business development profession. It’s easy to fall behind and think in terms of “yesterday” when trying to solve today’s problems. Our consultants are constantly reading, attending webinars and conferences, taking Crack the Govcode Academy and other classes, and shadowing other experienced colleagues to learn and provide more value for our clients.

4. We Share & Carry the Load
Winning proposals is a team sport. It requires dedication, long hours, and sometimes pushing past the point of exhaustion to get outstanding work done before the deadline. The GovEdge’s consultants carry the load together, stepping up when our colleagues on the client or consultant side may need help. We take responsibility and work proactively to fix what needs fixing, even if it’s not in our job description.
5. We Do Whatever it Takes
Competing and winning at the highest levels of competition in Government contracting is mentally and physically tough. The GovEdge consultants are dedicated to helping our clients succeed. We operate in high-stress environments, respond to challenging Government requirements, and sometimes work 12-hour days 7 days a week. OST is in the business of winning proposals instead of merely completing them.
We have developed winning processes that are scalable from multi-billion-dollar bids down to bids under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. We will bring the rigor of process and quality control that help win large, unrestricted competitions to raise Pwin for any size bid.
