Every day, acquisition professionals debate workforce shortages, procurement delays, and regulatory burdens. Across the entire GovCon Ecosystem, these professionals make decisions that affect mission success, taxpayer value, and public trust.
Yet most of those conversations are driven by anecdotes, isolated experiences, or opinions rather than objective data. We all have opinions about how federal acquisition is performing. Until now, we’ve never had a consistent way to measure it.
That’s why Skyway Acquisition created the GovCon Mission Effectiveness Index© (GMEI). GMEI is a quarterly benchmark that measures how acquisition professionals perceive the effectiveness of the GovCon Ecosystem.
Rather than relying on assumptions or isolated experiences, the GMEI gathers insights directly from the people performing the work every day at the street level. The result is a clearer picture of what is working well, where challenges exist, and how perceptions can change over time.
Help Build the Benchmark
The GovCon Mission Effectiveness Index© is only as valuable as the voices behind it. By taking a few minutes to complete the survey, you become part of an effort to create one of the first recurring benchmarks of how the acquisition community perceives its own effectiveness.
Your responses help build a benchmark that organizations can use to understand trends, identify strengths, and focus improvement efforts where they matter most.
Why Your Opinion Matters
Whether you work in government or industry, your experience matters. Contracting officers, contract specialists, program managers, CORs, capture managers, proposal managers, subcontract managers, pricing professionals, and procurement analysts all see different parts of the acquisition system. Together, those perspectives create a more complete picture of the GovCon Ecosystem. We are in this Ecosystem together.
Every response helps build the quarterly barometer of the GovCon Ecosystem. GMEI is building a benchmark for measuring the health and effectiveness of the GovCon Ecosystem. Previous results are available at GovConMEI.com. Your response to the GMEI helps us to
- Measure confidence across the GovCon Ecosystem.
- Identify emerging trends over time.
- Reveal strengths and areas needing attention.
- Establish an objective benchmark for future comparison.
No single person’s experience tells the whole story. But together, thousands of perspectives can reveal patterns that lead to better decisions and stronger acquisition outcomes. Individual responses are anonymous. GMEI reports only aggregated results and trends, never individual responses. You sign up to get the results (for free) after you submit the anonymous survey.
