BTW & Co. Named Finalist for 2026 Moxie Award, Recognizing Boldness in Business in the Washington, D.C. Region
(Arlington, VA) — BTW & Co. (Bullard, Thomas, Watson & Company), a women-owned government contracting consultancy headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, has been named a finalist for the 2026 Moxie Award, a prestigious regional honor celebrating boldness, innovation, and big thinking in the Washington, D.C. business community.
Launched on January 1, 2024 by three seasoned GovCon practitioners with over $5 billion in career contract wins and 4,500+ proposals submitted, BTW & Co. was built to fill a gap the federal contracting market had long ignored: a consultancy with the practitioner depth to win and the systems, technology, and infrastructure discipline to help clients win consistently. In less than two years, the firm has grown to 73 active engagements across 41 unique clients in 10 states — built entirely on referrals, with zero cold outreach or paid acquisition.
BTW’s bold moves speak for themselves. The firm developed WinBuilder CRM, a proprietary business development platform purpose-built for GovCon. They launched Bridge the Way™ AI Proposal Packages powered by AwardedAI®, bringing compliant, AI-enabled proposals to clients of every size. They earned Platinum Partner status with Procurement Sciences — the market’s leading GovCon AI platform — and were named Partner of the Quarter. And they did it all as an all-female team operating unapologetically in one of the most male-dominated industries in the country.
“Being recognized among the boldest and most innovative organizations, including our own clients, in the D.C. metro community is an honor we don’t take lightly. Our gratitude extends to every person who has believed in what we’re building,” said Marcia Watson, CEO and Co-Founder. “We established this business with a clear point of view that this industry was about to change, and the audacity to act on it ahead of our competition. This recognition affirms that boldness isn’t just a value we talk about. It’s how we operate.”
Co-Founder and COO Theresa Thomas added: “BTW was built on a pretty simple belief: bold businesses don’t grow by playing it safe. We built this company differently — people-first, tech-forward, unapologetically authentic, and willing to challenge how GovCon growth has always been done. To be recognized by the Moxie Award as a finalist feels incredibly meaningful because boldness is exactly what this company was founded on. I’m proud of the team we’ve built, the clients who’ve trusted us, and the fact that we’ve stayed true to who we are while doing it.”
Finalists were recently announced on May 19th by 2026 Moxie Award Co-Chairs Sarah Cody and Sara Roa.
“The Moxie Award, now celebrating its 10th year of recognizing Boldness in Business in the Washington, DC area, honors organizations that have set themselves above the rest with that something extra,” said Moxie Award Co-Chair Sarah Cody.
“Over the last 10 years, we’ve had the honor of identifying and honoring some of the most admirable companies in the region, and we are thrilled to share this next group of local businesses that demonstrate Moxie in new and exciting ways, making DC a great place to live and work,” added Moxie Award Co-Chair Sara Roa.
