Market Intelligence for Government Contractors
Know the market before you price the bid.
PTW turns current labor, wage, location, industry, and federal-spending data into defensible pricing and capture decisions—without weeks of spreadsheet research.
Current labor evidence
Defensible pricing context
The problem
Your pricing model is only as current as the data behind it.
Historical awards tell you what won under yesterday’s labor conditions. National salary guides flatten meaningful regional differences. Disconnected government and economic datasets leave proposal teams stitching together assumptions under deadline.
PTW brings those signals together so you can price against the market that exists now—not the one reflected in an old contract file.
The workflow
From labor category to Price-to-Win.
Move from the customer requirement to a competitive target through a repeatable, evidence-based pricing process.
Establish the local market
Compare current wages, labor availability, education, skills, and regional employment conditions.
Test the competition
Evaluate contractor activity, government spending, market structure, and likely pricing pressure.
Build the target
Bring market evidence, indirect costs, staffing strategy, and margin together around a competitive price.
Built for the bid
Answer the questions behind the number.
PTW connects data that proposal teams typically investigate in isolation, so each decision strengthens the next.

Move beyond national averages and stale awards with localized occupational and industry wage intelligence.
Evaluate where the work can be staffed
Compare labor depth, wage pressure, skills, education, and workforce conditions across markets.
Understand the government market
