▸  Compliance & Capital Program Governance: OEO compliance monitoring (City of Philadelphia), PA BDISBO/SDB participation (Commonwealth contracts), Federal DBE compliance (IIJA-funded infrastructure), finish-line delivery advisory for capital programs, payment readiness, and closeout execution.

▸  KeystoneAdvoca Strategies — Government Relations & Procurement Navigation: RFP readiness, public funding strategy (RACP, PIDC, PHFA, PIDA), procurement positioning, and government relations for developers, nonprofits, and firms entering Pennsylvania’s public-sector market.

Who I work with:

• Real estate developers navigating Philadelphia OEO and City-subsidized project compliance
• General contractors and engineering firms needing embedded compliance monitoring on public capital projects
• Nonprofits pursuing RACP, PIDC, PHFA, and other public capital funding
• Out-of-state firms entering Pennsylvania’s public procurement market for the first time
• The School District of Philadelphia and charter/Renaissance school networks on capital program governance
• Municipalities and quasi-government agencies navigating federal infrastructure compliance

Why the distinction matters:

Philadelphia OEO, Pennsylvania BDISBO/SDB, and Federal DBE are three separate compliance frameworks — each with different certifications, portals, reporting requirements, and enforcement agencies. Most consultants call everything ‘OEO.’ I know which one applies to your project and exactly what it requires.
