innovating Acquisition

The Tech Grove Advantage

Solving today’s national security challenges requires speed, flexibility, and fresh ideas. But the traditional FAR-based acquisition process can often be slow, complex, and closed off to new players.

Tech Grove offers a Non-FAR approach, enabling government agencies to prototype, test, and adopt new solutions without the typical barriers. At the same time, we open the door for small businesses and startups — giving them direct access to mission challenges they may never have had the opportunity to solve.

For Government

Solve faster: Move from problem to prototype in less time.

Access new solutions: Tap into a vast network of small businesses, startups, and universities.

Lower risk: Test solutions early and iterate quickly before scaling.

Enhance Readiness: Field technologies that keep your team mission-ready and future-focused.
