Past performance is a gate. We hold the key.
SBAdvisoryBoard is a teaming guild for federal small business. BidBoard parses Section M of every live solicitation, flags the exact reference gap between what the government demands and what your firm can prove, and assembles a compliant prime/subcontractor team that clears it.

The problem
Three structural barriers keep capable firms out of the negotiated market
Section M locks you out
Negotiated acquisitions demand three to five CPARS-rated references. A firm with zero verified history is non-responsive before technical review begins.
Workshare exploitation
Small primes get pulled into arrangements that violate FAR 52.219-14 limitations on subcontracting, risking the award and the set-aside.
Subs never get rated
13 CFR 125.11 obligates primes to evaluate small business subcontractors, yet the ratings are rarely requested — so the sub stays invisible.
The engine
From solicitation ingestion to minted past performance
STEP 01
SAM.gov / FPDS ingestion
BidBoard continuously ingests active solicitations and award history across your NAICS and PSC footprint.
STEP 02
Section M / Section L parsing
The parser reads evaluation factors and instructions to extract the required reference count, recency window, and rating floor.
STEP 03
Routing decision
Low-barrier work under FAR Part 13 or LPTA routes to a solo quick-win. Negotiated acquisitions with a reference gap raise a Critical Past Performance Deficit.
STEP 04
Deal desk match
Your socioeconomic profile is paired with an experienced subcontractor holding verified CPARS in the targeted NAICS/PSC.
STEP 05
Deal room assembly
Prime holds a minimum 51% of personnel costs behind the socioeconomic gate; the sub holds up to 49% and carries the Section M references.
STEP 06
Automated CPARS minting
On completion, the platform initiates the formal rating request under 13 CFR 125.11, obligating the prime to evaluate the subcontractor.
Core mandates
Article II of the Charter, in practice
Norbeck Technologies Inc. serves as the permanent anchor institution and Executive Chair, supervising escrow accounts, adjudicating teaming disputes, and certifying the slate of candidates for the four rotating Co-Chair seats.
Elimination of past-performance barriers
Pool capability under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) and 13 CFR 125.6 so emerging firms can compete on merit.
Equitable workshare protection
Every teaming arrangement declares transparent allocations that respect FAR 52.219-14 limitations.
Institutionalized subcontractor CPARS
Automated rating requests under 13 CFR 125.11 turn delivered work into official corporate past performance.
Data-driven execution
BidBoard replaces speculative networking with contract-specific matching against live solicitations.
