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.

Certified Cost or Pricing/Truthful Cost or Pricing (TINA) Support
RKI can help guide you through the process of certifying cost or pricing to the government during your contract proposal negotiations.
Cost/Price Analysis
We are well equipped to help your organization compile compliant cost and price analyses for your contract proposals.
Cost Proposal Preparation
The cost and pricing of proposals to the U.S. Government is an art, a science, and a compliance requirement. RKI can work with your pricing team to ensure your cost and pricing data meets the requirements of your proposal. Additionally, RKI can work to independently review your subcontractor’s cost or pricing submissions. Such solutions may reduce the need for U.S. Government “assist audits” and increase the efficiency for when reviews are performed.
Commercial Item Determinations
Commercial items may seem like the easy way out in U.S. Government contracting, but the bar has been raised on proving commerciality by the U.S. Government. Providing a documentation set that meets the definition of commerciality and complies with the requirements therein for receiving a commercial item determination from the Contracting Officer has become a major obstacle for contractors. RKI can assist contractors in putting forth a compelling and compliant commercial item assertion to the U.S. Government.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Due Diligence
U.S. Government contract risks with M&A are unique. Identifying these risks during the acquisition or merger with another organization are requisite activities in the due diligence process. RKI can work with the buy-side or sell-side contractor in determining which risks may affect the buy or sell decision for vested parties.
ERP Selection & Implementation
Selecting the proper ERP system can be a daunting task, and implementing your selection can be even more complicated. Fortunately, we have work with several types of government contractors, and will help you pick and implement the right ERP system to accomplish your organizational and contracting goals while prioritizing efficieny.
