How We Helped a Fortune 100 Client Save $200K on a $17M Procurement Contract
Winning a government subcontract is one thing. Delivering $200K in savings and end-to-end visibility on $17M in procurement for a Fortune 100 Prime? That takes a different level of execution.
Procurement team reviewing vendor quotes and cost savings strategy for government contract fulfillment.
When Lockheed Martin—the Prime Contractor for the U.S. Navy—issued a small business set-aside RFP, our strategic partner, Industrial Management Services (IMS), was awarded a subcontract. From there, IMS brought in Bee Social Solutions as a procurement support partner to lead day-to-day operations and drive results from the ground up.
Tasked with executing on a ~$17M procurement support contract, we stepped in to manage:
Vendor sourcing and quote analysis
Purchasing and shipping coordination
Ongoing issue resolution across departments
Spend tracking tied to real-time cost savings
The result so far?
Over $200,000 in hard savings negotiated—and we’re still in active execution.
We’ve accomplished this by leveraging decades of experience on both sides of the procurement table. That means we don’t just process orders—we challenge pricing, renegotiate terms, and protect delivery timelines while driving real value.
And we’re not finished.
With key purchases still ahead, we continue to track:
Cumulative cost savings
Outstanding procurement items
Open issues
Delivery status across all vendors
Because procurement done right isn’t just about buying. It’s about protecting margins, reducing chaos, and delivering measurable impact.
