We Cut the Red Tape So You Can Win.
Government contracting is complicated by design. We built RickerTime Consulting to change that — giving small businesses the same access to federal dollars that large firms have always had.
Our Mission
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, yet most never access the billions of dollars in federal contracts set aside specifically for them. The process is buried in paperwork, acronyms, and bureaucracy that favors those who already know the system. RickerTime Consulting exists to level that playing field — processing certifications, navigating the Simplified Acquisitions Program, and positioning small businesses to win direct government contracts without the guesswork.

15 Years Inside Government Contracting
Ricker Yankowski founded RickerTime Consulting after more than 15 years working inside government contracting — and watching too many qualified small businesses miss out on federal contracts they deserved simply because they didn't know the system existed or couldn't navigate it alone.
That firsthand experience is the foundation of everything we do. Ricker built a firm focused entirely on the certifications and contract vehicles that give small businesses a real advantage: WOSB, WBE, SDVOSB, VBE, DBE, MBE, and the Simplified Acquisitions Program. No fluff, no vague strategy — just results.
What We Stand For
Results Over Process
We measure success by contracts won, not certifications filed. Every step we take is oriented toward getting you to revenue.
Radical Clarity
Government contracting is full of jargon. We translate everything into plain language so you always know exactly where you stand and what comes next.
Small Business First
We work exclusively with small businesses. That focus means we know every nuance of the programs designed to help you — and we use all of them.
No Long-Term Lock-In
We earn your continued business by delivering results, not by trapping you in contracts. Engage us for a single package or a retainer — on your terms.
