Your Government Contracting Partner
Helping companies, government contractors, and tech startups win federal contracts - without the complexity.
ReadyOne
In Naval Aviation, "Ready One" is the crew that never stands down.
While others rotate off duty, Ready One waits. Briefed. Equipped. Prepared for a call that could come in five minutes - or not at all. They don't know which enemy submarine contact will trigger launch, which distress signal will send them airborne, which national security threat will demand immediate response.
What they know is this: when the call comes, hesitation isn't an option.
Ready One crews train relentlessly for scenarios may never happen. They study every system, rehearse every procedure, anticipate every contingency - so that when the mission goes live, preparation becomes instinct and execution is automatic.
This is where ReadyOne Tech takes its name.
We position our clients the same way: briefed on the federal landscape, equipped with proven methodology, prepared to execute when opportunity emerges. Government contracting rewards companies that are ready before the solicitation drops—not scrambling after.
Your mission is building your business. Ours is making sure you're ready when it matters.

Why ReadyOne?
Building Profitable Government Business Without the Typical Complexity
Government contracting represents a $700+ billion annual market. Yet most companies avoid it—intimidated by bureaucracy, past performance catch-22s, and regulatory complexity that seems designed to keep newcomers out.
ReadyOne exists to change that.
We help commercial companies, state/local contractors, and tech startups build profitable government business by handling the complexity they don't have time for.
But we're not like other government contracting consultants. Here's why:
The ReadyOne Difference: FULL-JOURNEY PARTNERSHIP
Most government contracting consultants specialize in one piece of the puzzle.
Registration firms get you set up, then you're on your own
BD consultants help you win contracts—but only if you're already registered
Compliance firms keep you audit-ready - but only if you're already winning
ReadyOne supports your complete journey - from assessment through sustained revenue.

Built on Proven Experience
ReadyOne founder Scott Ford has operated on every side of the commercial-government divide:
Fortune 50 General Manager (led $1B+ in contracts)
Corporate + VC Managing Director (deployed $50M+ helping startups sell to enterprises)
Startup CEO/COO (scaled 0→100 employees; raised $80M+ in VC)
Board Director (10+ companies through growth and exits)
Navy Veteran (Aviation ASW Operator, 3,000+ flight hours, Gulf War combat)
This isn't theory. It's 25+ years bridging innovation and bureaucracy from every angle.
Systematic Methodology
ReadyOne uses the proven GovClose framework - systematic processes for federal market entry, not improvised consulting.
You get structured deliverables, clear milestones, and repeatable methods backed by hundreds of successful government market entries.
Combined with 25+ years of practical experience, we adapt proven methodology to your specific situation.
Collaborative Model
You work directly with Scott - not junior consultants or account managers.
When specialized capabilities are needed (advanced proposal writing, financial modeling, compliance), we engage trusted specialists from our network.
Direct access + specialized expertise + scalable capacity = best of both worlds.
Veteran-Owned, Veteran-Led - with Commercial Credibility
ReadyOne is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), founded and led by Navy veteran Scott Ford.
This isn't just a certification. It reflects Scott's understanding of government culture from the inside—the operational discipline, mission focus, and cultural fluency that government buyers recognize and value.
But veteran status alone doesn't win contracts.
You need someone who understands both government AND commercial business. When you work with ReadyOne, you're working with someone who bridges both worlds:
Government credibility (Navy veteran, 3,000+ flight hours, Gulf War combat)
Commercial expertise (Fortune 50 executive, VC investor, startup CEO)
Bridge-building experience (25+ years connecting innovation and bureaucracy)
Graduate from GovClose, the government contracting certification and implementation system
For veteran-founded companies, Scott understands your journey personally and brings credibility that opens doors.
For non-veteran companies, Scott's veteran status builds trust with government buyers while his commercial track record ensures you don't sacrifice business fundamentals for bureaucratic compliance.
You get government cultural fluency AND commercial operational excellence - not one at the expense of the other.
