Welcome Leaders!

MBO makes it easy to engage independent talent on Federal contracts. Email RFPs / RFQs to MAG@mbopartners.com along with the worker's pay rate (if pre-ID) and response due date. Also indicate any other required information (e.g., Teaming Agreement, Cost Narrative, LCAT's, Reps & Certs requirements, Organizational Conflict of Interest, NDA, Cyber Security requirements, cover letter requirements, etc.). Please allow two business days for pricing-only requests and five business days for requests requiring additional information.

If you do not already have a contractor in mind, MBO's Independent Talent Network team can help.

MAG's dedicated ITN Team Manager will work with you to attract and hire from the pool of 130,000 Talent inside of MBO's marketplace. This Fortune 500-proven Talent exists across 18 skill domains and over 112 specialties, including cyber security, cloud engineering, software engineering, recruiting, federal proposal support, and DoD contract management. Note that a small sourcing fee applies for successful placements (15%), which is in addition to MBO's standard engagement service fees. This combined fee is still a fraction of the cost of working with traditional staffing suppliers.

Sourcing process: When you need MBO's help finding a contractor for a role, email Kelsey Moynihan at kmoynihan@mbopartners.com.

Your ITN Team Manager will follow up to finalize the details of the role and then begin the process of recruiting, screening, and submitting vetted Talent for your review. For most roles, MBO's ITN team can deliver high-quality talent in 72 hours or less. You simply select the candidate which best matches your needs and we will then initiate our standard onboarding process.

MBO directs MAG-referred independents into one of three engagement services depending on their characteristics, expectations, and business qualifications:

• Vendor Services: A business-to-business engagement service for independent professionals who meet MAG's criteria to engage as qualified vendors. Independent professionals interested in engaging through Vendor Services must pass a qualification evaluation during the onboarding process. MBO invoices MAG for approved time/expense submissions and pays vendors upon receipt of MAG's payment.
• Business Services: A unique engagement alternative for independent professionals who wish to work as compliant independent business owners (LLCs or corporations) but need assistance meeting and maintaining the appropriate credentials to do so. Independents engaged through Business Services enjoy the freedom and flexibility of operating an independent business at less cost and with less administration than doing it alone.
• Payroll Services: A conventional W-2 payrolling solution for hourly workers who do not consider themselves true independent business practitioners.
