Professional Guidance. Structured for Self-Directed Implementation.
Build government contracting capabilities at your own pace with practical, implementation-ready Playbooks from Macias Builders.
Put the System in Your Hands.
Government contracting requires more than knowing what needs to happen. Businesses need a structured way to turn requirements, decisions, and good intentions into repeatable action.
The Macias Builders Government Contracting Playbook System translates MB's structured government contracting methodology into six practical publications designed for implementation.
Each Playbook addresses a specific stage of the Government Contracting Journey and provides the guidance, implementation activities, worksheets, checklists, readiness controls, and reusable business assets needed to move from understanding to execution.
Start where you are. Build what you need. Keep what you create.
One System. Six Stages.
You don't have to purchase the entire system to get started.
Choose the Playbook that matches your current stage—or use the Complete Six-Playbook System to build connected capabilities across the government contracting lifecycle.

Built for Implementation—Not Just Reading.
MB Playbooks are not intended to be general government contracting ebooks or collections of tips.
They are structured implementation publications designed to help businesses do the work associated with each stage of the Government Contracting Journey.
Depending on the applicable stage, each Playbook includes structured implementation content such as:
The Outcome
You don't simply finish a Playbook. You build capabilities and business assets your organization can continue to use.
Work Independently—or Add Guidance When You Need It.
Different businesses need different levels of assistance. MB Playbooks are designed to support self-directed implementation while giving you the option to access professional guidance when appropriate.
Self-Directed
↓
“Give me the system to do it.”
Purchase the Playbook and work through the applicable government contracting stage independently, at your own pace.
Includes:
Best for:
Businesses comfortable implementing independently.
Guided Playbook
↓
“Give me the system—and help when I need it.”
Combine the applicable Playbook with a focused 60-minute Guided Playbook Session for questions, clarification, and implementation guidance.
You remain responsible for completing the work. MB helps you understand and apply the Playbook effectively.
Includes:
Best for:
Businesses that want to implement independently but value professional guidance at key points.
Guided Playbook Pricing
When purchased together, the applicable Playbook and one 60-minute Guided Playbook Session are offered as a Guided Playbook package, with the Guided Session provided at a $200 bundled rate.
Already own the applicable Playbook or need additional guidance?
Additional Guided Playbook Sessions, or a Guided Session purchased separately after the applicable Playbook, are $250 per 60-minute session.
Full Advisory
↓
“Assess my situation and help determine what I should do.”
When the challenge is not implementation but determining what your business actually needs, a structured Advisory engagement may be the better starting point.
MB assesses your current position, identifies gaps and priorities, and develops stage-specific recommendations.
Best for:
Businesses facing uncertainty, complex circumstances, significant gaps, or decisions that should be resolved before implementation.
Your Playbook Investment Can Move Forward with You.
If you purchase an individual MB Contracting Playbook and later determine that you need the corresponding Advisory engagement for the same stage, 100% of the price paid for that Playbook may be applied as a credit toward the applicable Advisory engagement.
If you choose a Guided Playbook, your Playbook remains yours and the included Guided Playbook Session provides focused professional assistance applying it. Professional-service fees for Guided Playbook Sessions are not credited toward Advisory.
Playbook Purchase Credits apply only to the corresponding stage, may be used once, have no cash value, and are subject to applicable MB terms.
For the Complete Six-Playbook System, the credit attributable to each corresponding stage is $232.50. Playbook Purchase Credits are subject to applicable MB terms.
Focused Guidance While You Do the Work.
Guided is designed to help you use the Playbook, not replace a full Advisory engagement or provide unlimited consulting.
Bring your Playbook, your progress, and your questions to a focused session with MB.
We'll help clarify the Playbook methodology, address implementation questions, and help you apply the applicable Playbook to your work.
Guided is ideal when:
Need MB to assess the business itself?
Need MB to complete selected work?
