Associate Strategy Consultant

Bidscale is accelerating government innovation.
The U.S. federal government is armed with unmatched purchasing power and a mission to drive broad, transformational impacts for the public good. However, government agencies face an uphill battle to fulfill this task. Current procurement systems consist of unwieldy compliance requirements, cumbersome approval chains, and countless administrative workflows. These inefficiencies frustrate government officials and prevent effective partnership with commercial vendors. Bidscale is a digital platform built to tackle this challenge by helping the government navigate the complexities of federal procurement. Bidscale accelerates procurement to help the U.S. federal government return to the forefront of innovation, drive new standards for societal outcomes, improve commercial competitiveness, and enhance the national security posture.
