Both sides of the GovCon table, one team
Skyway Acquisition is a team of former federal Contracting Officers who spent their careers running acquisitions inside agencies like the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and USSOCOM, and who have since helped hundreds of organizations navigate government contracts from the industry side. That combination is rare in government contracting: we know how the buying side thinks because we were the buying side, and we know what it takes to win and perform because we advise the companies doing it every day.
Everything Skyway offers is built on that dual perspective. The Contracting Officer Podcast explains how each side of an acquisition sees the same contract. The Skyway GovCon Frameworks turn decades of contracting judgment into models you can apply to your next proposal or program. And when disputes reach litigation, the same experience makes Kevin Jans the expert witness attorneys rely on.
Whether you are a contracting officer growing your acquisition skills or a contractor competing for federal work, the goal is the same: bring context to both sides of GovCon and help people do GovCon well.

Fantastic Learning Tool
“I have become obsessed with using this podcast as a basis for learning contracting concepts that I otherwise would not learn until years later through ‘experience.’ I love the connection each podcast makes to a FAR Clause and that it provides a real life problem to even further put it into perspective of the day to day life in Contracting.”
Why didn’t I find this sooner?
