Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Additional Services
From Market Entry support to Mergers, our team can help with a wide range of additional services.
Certified Cost or Pricing/Truthful Cost or Pricing (TINA) Support
RKI can guide you through the process of certifying cost or pricing during contract proposal negotiations, aligning with government requirements while minimizing compliance risks.
Cost/Price Analysis
We are prepared to help your organization compile compliant cost and price analyses for contract proposals, offering insights that meet U.S. Government standards.
Cost Proposal Preparation
Pricing proposals to the U.S. Government is both an art and a science, with strict compliance requirements. RKI works alongside your pricing team to help ensure your cost and pricing data aligns with proposal specifications. We can also independently review subcontractor cost or pricing submissions, potentially reducing the need for government “assist audits” and improving efficiency for any reviews conducted.
Commercial Item Determinations
Although commercial items might appear to simplify U.S. Government contracting, the bar has been raised on proving commerciality. Preparing documentation that meets the definition of commercial items and aligns with requirements for receiving a commercial item determination can be challenging. RKI helps contractors develop compelling and compliant commercial item assertions for contracting officers to review.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Due Diligence
U.S. Government contract risks pose unique challenges in mergers and acquisitions. Identifying these risks during an acquisition or merger is key to a thorough due diligence process. RKI supports either buy-side or sell-side contractors by clarifying risks that may affect a transaction’s value and strategic decision-making.
ERP Selection & Implementation
Choosing and implementing the right ERP system can be daunting—particularly for government contractors. RKI’s experience with diverse contractor types allows us to help you select and implement an ERP system that supports your organizational and contracting goals while emphasizing efficiency.
USG Contract Market Entry Support
RKI partners with commercial companies to evaluate opportunities with the U.S. Government, ensuring they have business practices in place to meet relevant requirements. We draw on deep experience to help you balance internal and external resources so that you neither overinvest nor underinvest in your government contracting pursuits.
Federal Monitor Support
RKI provides expert guidance for organizations operating under federal oversight or monitorships. We help clients meet compliance requirements, implement corrective actions, and maintain transparent communication with federal agencies. From developing effective compliance programs to preparing detailed progress reports, we ensure your organization stays on track and in full alignment with federal expectations.
