from The JR & Ali Show · host jrandalishow
On this episode of The JR & Ali show, JR Glass, President of GovCon Growth Solutions, and Ali Steer, President of Steer Operational Solutions, are joined by Hytham Said, Vice President at Scope Infotech. The discussion explores why opportunities are moving, disappearing, or changing contract vehicles and how smart business development teams are adapting in real time. From staffing shortages and OMAS transitions to evolving acquisition strategies and increased use of vehicles like Alliant, MAS, and SPARC, the conversation offers a candid look at how agencies are trying to create “easy button” procurement paths while contractors work to stay positioned. The episode also tackles the uncertainty surrounding the SBA 8(a) program, aggressive audits, and how small businesses can pivot through strategic partnerships and teaming relationships. The group shares practical advice on shaping opportunities before the RFP hits, leveraging market research, preparing for end-of-year “sweeps,” and finding growth opportunities through innovation and AI initiatives. 👉 Connect with the Guests: JR Glass – LinkedIn | GovCon Growth Solutions Ali Steer – LinkedIn | Steer Operational Solutions Hytham Said – LinkedIn | Scope Infotech
