Congressional Analysis Support

Various Government agencies require assistance with the research, analysis, and products necessary to provide Congress the information needed to authorize and fund the agencies’ plans, programs, and activities. Dynetics has earned the reputation as a premier congressional analysis contractor. We have assembled a cadre of congressional affairs experts with extensive Executive Branch, congressional, acquisition, and public relations experience. Our success in congressional analysis can be attributed to five vital elements:

• Extensive knowledge of congressional authorization and appropriations processes;
• Insight into congressional personalities and national-level issues;
• Experience in the Department of Defense Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process;
• Understanding of Executive Branch acquisition processes; and
• Expertise in public communications.

Dynetics’ unique approach to congressional analysis and external communications maximizes the effectiveness of messages to Congress, while remaining fully integrated with agency themes and requirements. We provide integrated, thorough, and informed processes and products based around four pillars:

• Strategy formulation,
• Communications,
• Integration and synchronization, and
• Issue development and analysis.

With these pillars as a foundation, Dynetics is committed to enhancing the agency’s probability of success by proactively responding to congressional actions. With our customer-centric focus, we ensure the agency’s intended message is communicated to the right audience at the right time. Timely and channeled communication, combined with a deliberate integration and synchronization strategy, allows our team of professionals to assist the Executive Branch in conveying their approach to the appropriate decision makers. Additionally, Dynetics identifies legislative issues of interest to the agency and facilitates effective tracking and analysis of budget ’marks’ and legislative language.

A particularly attractive product and service Dynetics can bring to an agency is the Congressional Knowledge Management System (CKMS). CKMS is a web-enabled, relational database used to plan, coordinate, and disseminate legislative information. CKMS links all legislative personnel. The heart of the system is a real-time planning calendar used to synchronize all legislative and public communications activities. The system is fully compatible with the full range of Microsoft products and can import or export into Microsoft Office applications, such as PowerPoint, Outlook, or Excel. Additionally, this system allows information useful for legislative or public communications activities to be stored and retrieved quickly.

As your premier provider of congressional analysis, products, and research, Dynetics is committed to providing high-level support to agencies working hand-in-hand with Congress, implementing the plans, programs, and activities that will "shape" the agency’s future.
