Purpose
The Briljent team was charged with researching business opportunities for the company to provide its services to specific areas of the federal government market sector.  The company has been successful in getting local business, state contracts, and subcontracts in the federal arena, but it has not been a prime federal contractor.

Action
The team researched how to do business with and business opportunities within the federal government.  The students also identified several new opportunities for the company.

Results
The team will provide a "playbook" for Briljent that will identify opportunities, contacts, and suggestions for getting contracts.  In addition, the team will provide a PowerPoint presentation and collateral material for Briljent to use in making contacts with federal political leaders.
