Many consultants working in the GSA ecosystem focus on proposal preparation, contract strategy, pricing guidance, and compliance advisory services. These areas require experience, judgment, and close client relationships.

However, once a contract is awarded or a catalog requires updates, projects often shift into detailed operational work such as catalog preparation, image sourcing, product description cleanup, and data alignment across catalog submissions.

These tasks can be time-consuming and highly technical, often pulling consultants away from the strategic work that provides the most value to their clients.

Clear Intel Group was created to support consultants in this operational layer.

Where Clear Intel Group Fits

Clear Intel Group focuses on catalog data hygiene and preparation, helping contractors ensure that catalog data aligns with system requirements before submission.

We assist consultants by handling detailed catalog preparation tasks that can otherwise consume valuable consulting time.

Typical areas of support include:

• Catalog image sourcing and coverage
• Product description cleanup and formatting
• Catalog data alignment prior to submission
• Large catalog preparation and cleanup
• Product record consistency across uploads and modifications
• Catalog data hygiene prior to reporting cycles or modifications

By addressing these operational issues, Clear Intel Group helps projects move forward more smoothly.

A Value Add for Consulting Firms

Working with Clear Intel Group can also help consulting firms expand their service capacity.

When consultants encounter projects that involve large catalogs, image gaps, or extensive data cleanup, these tasks can slow project timelines or require additional effort that may fall outside the core consulting engagement.

Clear Intel Group provides a way for consultants to address these issues efficiently while continuing to focus on higher-value services such as:

• contract acquisition strategy
• proposal development
• pricing guidance
• compliance advisory
• ongoing contract management

In many cases, this allows consulting firms to take on additional projects and generate additional revenue without being pulled into time-consuming catalog preparation work.

A Complementary Role

Clear Intel Group does not compete with consultants.

Our role is to support consultants by helping resolve detailed catalog preparation issues that can slow down projects or require specialized attention.

We are comfortable working:

• alongside consultants and their teams
•  directly with contractors when appropriate
• or quietly behind the scenes supporting client projects

The consultant’s relationship with the client is always respected.

When Consultants Typically Call Us

Consultants often reach out when a client encounters catalog preparation challenges such as:

• hundreds of products without catalog images
• product descriptions that do not meet system requirements
• inconsistent product data fields across catalog uploads
• catalog cleanup required before modifications
• time-consuming catalog preparation work following contract award

These situations are where focused catalog data work can make a significant difference.

Background

After many years operating as a GSA contractor, founder F. Andre Fortier shifted his focus toward catalog data hygiene and operational catalog preparation.

Having worked directly inside the contractor environment, he saw firsthand how issues related to images, product descriptions, and catalog data alignment can quietly accumulate until they create delays, rejected submissions, or significant rework.

Clear Intel Group was established to help contractors and consultants address these issues earlier in the process.

Consultant Collaboration

Clear Intel Group welcomes collaboration with consultants who want reliable operational support when catalog preparation becomes complex or time-consuming.

By working together, consultants can continue focusing on strategy and advisory services while ensuring that catalog data is properly prepared for submission.
