Government Contracting Consulting Built From Real Experience
Bivins Group LLC helps small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and emerging government contractors understand how to prepare, position, and operate in the government contracting marketplace. Our consulting services are built from real-world experience launching and operating a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, winning government contracts, managing vendors, building compliant back-office systems, and navigating federal, state, and local procurement requirements.
Bivins Group LLC is led by Brion Bivins, a retired U.S. Coast Guard veteran with 21 years of military service, including 17 years in Coast Guard logistics, supply, procurement, shipping and receiving, inventory control, contracting support, and supply chain operations. The company is also supported by Danielle Bivins, whose professional background includes corporate consulting, IT audit, compliance, risk management, business operations, and government solutions experience with Ernst & Young.
Together, Bivins Group LLC brings both sides of the contracting equation: operational government logistics experience and corporate consulting experience helping organizations build systems, win business, manage compliance, and scale responsibly.
