Bickley Group is a boutique federal procurement and contracting advisory firm specializing in helping small businesses, emerging technology companies, and nontraditional vendors break into—and succeed within—the federal marketplace. Founded by Aleyson Bickley, a former DHS Contracting Officer with extensive acquisition experience across DHS and the Department of War, the firm blends insider expertise with practical, accessible guidance tailored to the realities small businesses face.

We understand the challenges that come with federal contracting: complex regulations, opaque processes, shifting compliance requirements, and the daunting task of competing against larger incumbents. Our mission is to simplify that landscape. At Bickley Group, clients gain a trusted partner who knows how government decisions are made, what Contracting Officers look for, and how to position offerings to align with agency needs.

About The Company

Our Approach

Our approach is hands-on, transparent, and grounded in real-world acquisition experience—from early-stage R&D programs, SBIR/STTR, and BAAs/LRBAA, to commercial software, services, and long-term contract vehicles. We help clients strengthen their bids, streamline their internal processes, navigate post-award responsibilities, and develop the acquisition strategies that lead to meaningful, sustainable federal work.

Bickley Group’s leadership combines both the operational precision of a Marine Corps officer and the technical expertise of a seasoned federal acquisition professional. Together, we deliver clear, actionable, and compliant strategies that empower companies to compete confidently, responsibly, and successfully.

What Makes Us Different

At Bickley Group, we’re not a large consulting firm—and that’s deliberate. We built this company to serve small businesses with the clarity, care, and personalized expertise they often can’t find elsewhere. Here’s what makes us different:

• Direct Access to a Former DHS Contracting Officer
You’re working with someone who has sat in the evaluation room, led SBIR procurements, overseen R&D programs, and understands how federal buyers think.

• We Translate Complexity Into Action
Acquisition jargon, FAR references, compliance requirements — we turn it all into plain-language guidance your team can act on right away.

• Boutique by Design
Every client receives individualized strategy, hands-on support, and thoughtful attention — not a template package or recycled boilerplate. We focus on helping emerging contractors, tech innovators, and nontraditional vendors get a real foothold in the federal market.

• Strategy That Matches Your Stage
Whether you’re preparing your first bid, navigating post-award challenges, or planning an SBIR Phase III, we tailor our support to where you are — not where a large prime expects you to be.
