About Precision Federal

Precision Federal is a small business building AI, data and software systems for government agencies. The company’s founder loves God, and the company is built on Christian faith: every number we publish is real, every claim we make is verifiable, and the work is done with excellence as service to God. Faith is welcome here and openly shared.

How this role works

  1. You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
  2. A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
  3. You work remote, paid from the contract. ~60–300 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

  • Build our cost volumes in the Government's own template, with task-level formulas that tie to the work plan
  • Write the basis of estimate for every labor category, material and travel line
  • Check our indirect rates, escalation and fee posture against what the solicitation actually allows
  • Tell us where our price is uncompetitive and what a realistic winning number looks like

Required qualifications

  • Direct experience building federal cost or price volumes that were submitted and evaluated
  • Working knowledge of FAR cost principles, labor category pricing, indirect rate structures and Excel cost models
  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
  • Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

  • DoD, DARPA or SBIR cost volume experience
  • SF-424 R&R budgets, subaward budgets and grant carryover reconciliation
  • DCAA audit, provisional rate or accounting system review experience

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $30–$80 per hour; we set your rate from your résumé and experience. Hours are funded by federal contract awards — this seat is scoped at roughly 60–300 hours per funded award, fully remote. Work and pay begin only if the contract is awarded — no award, no hours, no obligation.
