Welcome, leaders!

Booz Allen partners with MBO to source, evaluate, classify, and manage all contingent talent, including Indirect and Direct contractors. MBO not only offers Booz Allen the most effective engagement vehicle available, but also provides an extremely high level of service and support to the consultants delivering the services. This frees up consultants to focus more completely on Booz Allen's projects. As a result, MBO's services appeal to both sides of the consulting equation.

MBO makes it easy to engage independent talent on Federal contracts. Email RFPs / RFQs to bah@mbopartners.com along with the worker's pay rate and response due date. Also indicate any other required information (e.g., a Cost Narrative document, 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.

BAH'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 (20% direct billable, 10% indirect), 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 Jordan Pumpelly at jpumpelly@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 Booz Allen contractors into one of the engagement alternatives below depending on their characteristics, expectations, and business qualifications:

• Vendor Services: A business-to-business engagement service for independent professionals who meet Booz Allen'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 Booz Allen for approved time/expense submissions and pays vendors upon receipt of Booz Allen'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.
• Enhanced Payroll Services: A variation of Payroll Services for workers whose contract restrictions limit their level of overtime billing.
