I spent six years as a Contract Specialist at GSA and DoD reviewing proposals, running source selections, and deciding who won. Now I help businesses get in a better position to win them.
"I know how the government decides who wins because I was the one deciding."
I spent six years as a certified 1102 Contract Specialist at the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense, including an international assignment in Kaiserslautern, Germany and evaluation board leadership at the headquarters level.
J. Burton Co. is built on that knowledge. Every service is grounded in how federal buyers actually think, what contracting officers look for, and what the businesses that lose are consistently getting wrong.
This is not generic consulting. It is inside knowledge applied directly to your business.
