If you could go back to the day you started government contracting and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be? Not a book.Not a course. Just one lesson that would have saved you time, money, or frustration. I'm curious to see what experienced contractors would tell their beginner selves.

If you've been paying attention to government contracting lately, you've noticed something... Everything is changing. VSM (Vendor Support Management) has changed. FPDS has been discontinued. CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements are evolving. These aren't small tweaks. These are fundamental shifts that impact the entire contracting lifecycle—both pre-award and post-award. And if you're not staying ahead of these changes? You're getting left behind. That's why we're hosting another boot camp. NOMYAD is hosting a 3-day LIVE boot camp in May 2026. (Exact dates TBD—we'll announce soon.) This isn't a rehash of old material. This is the May 2026 version of our Ignored to Award training. Updated for the current environment. Updated for the new systems. Updated for the way government contracting actually works RIGHT NOW. Here's what we'll cover: ✅ How to navigate the NEW VSM requirements ✅ How to do market research now that FPDS is gone ✅ What CMMC changes mean for your business ✅ How to adapt your contracting strategy for 2026 ✅ Pre-award AND post-award best practices This is Ignored to Award 2.0.
