Frequently Asked Questions
What is FedMAP™?
Coley’s Federal Market Acceleration Program (FedMAP™) is the first experiential, multi-modal cohort training program available to government contractors focused on accelerating a company’s entry or expansion into the Federal Market. FedMAP™ uses a hands-on approach guided by an experienced Capture Coach that takes participants through the entire process of developing and implementing a Capture Strategy Plan using a real-life contract opportunity that’s specific to each participating company. As a result, FedMAP provides a peer-accountable, hands-on experience that ends with the knowledge and skills needed to win government contracts.
FedMAP™ is an online program that includes the following features:
- Monthly Cohort Meetings are led by an experienced Capture Coach that leverages the groups collective experience to accelerate each participant’s knowledge and understanding of real-world application of activities that lead to success.
- One-to-One Coaching Sessions with Coley’s experienced Capture Coaches

How is FedMAP™ better than traditional training programs?
Coley’s FedMAP™ curriculum includes proven methodologies that lead to successful outcomes in pursuit of federal government contracts. During our many years of experience training Government Agencies and Private Companies we have come to understand that training delivered in traditional manners, such as classroom, webinar, and online is able to impart knowledge, but cannot transfer the “how” that can only come by “doing.”
FedMAP™ not only provides the knowledge of the capture planning process, our program guides participants through the process using a real-life opportunity resulting in retained knowledge and an understanding of how to actually implement a capture plan, which can only be learned by going through the process.
How much does FedMAP™ cost?
