Defense and aerospace primes hand you a 240-page Statement of Work and call it a starting point. We return it to you as a risk-scored matrix, line by line, in the time it takes to read the cover memo.

High · Indemnity Medium · CDRL ambiguity Low · StandardThree primary engagements, each grounded in twenty years of defense and aerospace contract work. Scoped, fixed-fee, delivered in business days — not billed by the hour, and not framed in legalese. Two further capabilities listed below the gallery.
Every offering produces a tangible workbook — not a slide deck, not a verbal briefing. Below, a composed plate of what each engagement looks like on the page when it lands in your inbox.
Fifteen dimensions, five categories, one page. Customer intelligence, technical fit, competitive position, business case, and risk-and-bid-ability — scored before you commit a proposal team. Hard-stop overrides surface disqualifiers early.
A clause-by-clause read of the prime or subcontract in front of you. Every regulatory reference flagged, every obligation classified, every consequence translated out of legalese into the language of your operations team.
When an amendment drops mid-proposal, you have hours, not days. We map every strike, every insert, every shifted definition between versions — with negotiation positions written in the margins.
Proposal clarity scored against the evaluation factors. Five formula metrics plus a six-section advisory brief.
Every undefined acronym pulled out, ranked by risk, mapped to Section M evaluation factors.
No portal logins. No software trial. You email a document; we return a workbook. The choreography between submission and delivery is what twenty years of defense contracting looks like — written into a repeatable engine.
SOW, PWS, SOO, or contract — PDF or Word, intake form or encrypted email. NDA and Letter of Agreement on file before the file is opened. Acknowledgement within two business hours.
Requirements extracted with shall / will / must / should taxonomy. CDRLs pulled into a separate tracker. FAR / DFARS clauses flagged and translated. Risk scored red, amber, green.
Four tabs: full RTVM, CDRL tracker, regulatory clause summary, executive dashboard. Ready for proposal teams. Followed by a thirty-minute advisory call.
Every engagement returns the same artifact: a four-tab workbook your proposal team can open, sort, filter, and act on. No dashboards behind a login. No format you've never seen. The format is the format your colonel signed off on for the last twenty years — only faster.

We had three days to respond to a 240-page amendment. CND turned it around in nineteen hours with every redline mapped, every risk weighed. Our proposal team went into negotiation knowing exactly where to hold the line.
Johnny Barnachia has spent two decades inside defense and aerospace programs — proposal floors, source selections, contract change boards, source data reviews, and the long quiet weeks when a Statement of Work is being written and re-written before it ever sees a contracting officer.
CND Contract Consultants exists because the SMBs entering defense supply chains today are the same ones who needed this work twenty years ago, and the language hasn't gotten any kinder. We translate it. We score it. We hand it back in a form your COO can read in fifteen minutes.
Tell us what you have. Anything from a five-page intent letter to a two-hundred-page SOW with seven amendments. Everything you share is held under NDA from the moment it lands; a Letter of Agreement is countersigned before any work begins.
