What Can KSA Federal Do For You
Companies that have the most success doing business with the U.S. Federal Government do so because they understand the entire federal budgeting process: from Requirements generation to the Budget build, through the Congressional Appropriations Process, to Contract Acquisition. If you do not have a good handle on all phases, doing business with the Federal Government will be difficult.
After 30 years of Government Service, George E. Kovatch founded KSA Federal to serve as your trusted navigator to guide you through each step of that process, just as he did for two Secretaries of Defense and numerous Government officials.
George has helped companies and federal agencies negotiate the landscape and successfully obtain millions of dollars (in DoD’s case, over $700 billion annually) of funding, make good, data-informed business decisions, and financial investments.

Honesty, Integrity, and Trust
Washington, DC can be a difficult environment in which to operate, but after 30 years of Federal service I have learned to live by these values. I am proud to have earned a reputation for helping others achieve their goals, and telling decision makers what they need to hear even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular.
