Rescuing a Government Contract: How QMS and Relationship Building Saved $700M

Situation

A start-up facility faced the potential loss of a new government contract extension due to their lack of a formalized Quality Management System (QMS) and poor communication, jeopardizing a $1 billion military contract for ballistics protection, and threatening a significant loss.

Actions

Over 12 months, MetaExpert Brian formalized and implemented a QMS, aligned the ERP system, developed, and nurtured relationships with government officials, and ensured contract compliance to restore confidence in fulfilling the contract requirements.

Results

  • Contract saved
  • Added 27% more units (6600 units in total) to the initial 5200-unit contract, with an additional 1400-unit contract, saving over $700M in potential losses.
  • Praised by DCMA: Directly credited for relationship-building efforts with the government, leading to these additional contract units.

Return on Investment

Achieved $700M in cost savings/avoidance by retaining and expanding the contract, delivering 6600 units across both contracts within 12 months.
