Prime Contractor Wireless Governance Integration Manual

A prime-level governance framework for integrating independent oversight into capture, proposal development, and post-award review readiness

Who this is for

Why this manual exists

Prime contractors increasingly operate within procurement environments where wireless infrastructure decisions intersect with public visibility, institutional duty-of-care considerations, and post-award scrutiny. Traditional proposal and delivery structures often treat wireless-related considerations as technical or legal matters alone, leaving a governance gap related to documentation discipline, narrative consistency, and independence.

This manual exists to address that governance gap. It provides a structured framework for integrating independent governance into prime-level decision-making, without duplicating legal interpretation, engineering design, or delivery authority. The objective is to support defensible documentation practices, preserve independence, and reduce downstream risk associated with fragmented or inconsistent governance postures across the contract lifecycle.
