Federal Contract Leadership

While at ETS, our CTO and chief architect, Wendall Cada, was a primary author on the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) assessment delivery platform contract, which resulted in a $50M award to ETS over a 5-year contract cycle. Given his reputation and unique expertise, Manhattan Strategy Group approached us to act as a subject matter expert for a new federal contract to host the Department of Education Nation's Report Card and affiliated NCES websites and internal software products. Our initial engagement was to educate company leadership on the unique challenges of this federal contract. In the proposal authoring phase, we authored sections that posed significant technical challenges to the organization. As the primary reviewer of all contract language, we played a crucial role in ensuring it remained consistent with the proposal goals.
