Government Contractor Acquisitions

Reconcile claimed federal revenue with corroborated awards, registration status, eligibility dependencies and customer concentration.

Applicable classification: Industry NAICS plus government-contracting activity. Business activities and identifiers—not the label alone—control which sources activate.

Relevant Financial Risks

  • Award obligations mistaken for recognized revenue
  • Single-agency, contract or recompete concentration
  • Backlog dependent on options or unfunded periods
  • Owner relationships or key-person qualifications

Licensing Dependencies

  • SAM registration and UEI continuity
  • Set-aside certifications and ownership/control rules
  • Facility clearance, personnel clearance or professional licenses where applicable
