At Ogma Insights, our mission is to empower small and emerging government contractors through a grassroots, research-driven approach to federal business development. We help clients uncover the right opportunities, build dynamic teams, and craft winning strategies — whether they’re new to the space or scaling toward multi–seven-figure pipelines.

Our methodology is rooted in tracking federal funding flows, analyzing budget cycles, and connecting the dots between policy, procurement, and opportunity. We don’t chase RFPs — we chase the opportunity itself, getting in early and building influence ahead of the curve.

We specialize in supporting a range of small businesses from merging innovative technology to set asides such as : 8(a), woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses — serving as a hands-on partner across strategic research, teaming, and training. That includes identifying aligned opportunities, conducting outreach to end users, crafting tailored capability briefs, and building real agency intimacy.

Ogma Insights brings a deep understanding of federal contracting vehicles and leverages a wide range of acquisition strategies to match client strengths with government needs. From traditional competitive bids to unique and flexible contracting mechanisms, we guide clients in positioning where it matters most.
