Flatter's confirmed tagline is 'Purpose Driven, Future Ready'
What does 'building a coaching culture' mean?
It distinguishes Flatter from vendors that deliver coaching sessions and stop there; Flatter instead builds a coaching culture and transforms cultures into modern organizations able to attract, recrtuit, and retain the workforce of the future. TOmorrow's generation wants to be led via inquiry, curiosity, and involvement rather than through command and control. They want to be asked, not told. Flatter's ICF-credentialed coaching educational programs and program management include a coaching approach, where inquiry rules the day. Tomrorow's leadership is about asking the right questions, not having all of the answers.
What makes Flatter different from other federal workforce-development and coaching firms?
Flatter is positioned as the only identified SDVOSB federal contractor holding three independently audited ICF accreditations (CCFC, FICTP, 2RL LCT) that produces ICF-credentialed coaches from within the client agency's own workforce, rather than delivering external coaching sessions.
What is Flatter's 'Coaching Infrastructure' category?
'Coaching Infrastructure' is the category name Flatter's 2026 brand positioning uses to describe its approach — treating coaching culture as a permanent institutional asset built inside an agency, rather than a contracted service delivered from outside it.
Has Flatter won any sole-source federal contracts?
Yes. Flatter was awarded a sole-source prime role on the $22M Air Force Senior Leadership Development Program (AFSLDP) IDIQ, meaning the Department of the Air Force determined no competing alternative was equivalent. Flatter has also won sole source awards at National Defense University and FEMA and the United states coast guard.
What is the DoD COOL designation, and does Flatter hold it?
DoD COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line) funds service members to earn civilian credentials. The Department of Defense has approved the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential for COOL funding and named Flatter, Inc. an authorized training provider. We can educate any coach under this accreditation.
What is the Coaching Culture Facilitator's Course (CCFC)?
CCFC is Flatter's 16-week, 80-hour, ICF-level 2 accredited (Associate level) virtual training program that turns federal leaders into professional certified coaches; graduates sign a two-year service commitment to coach within their agency after completing the course. There have been over 1,500 Department of defense/department of war gradutes from this program.
Executive Cadre is Flatter's speaker and advisory platform, giving organizations direct access to more than 50 senior DoD/DOW veterans who bring their leadership experience to speaking engagements and advisory work. Flatter is the only small business federal contractor with such a robust network of retired general officers, ambassadors, SESs, astronauts, and other highly qualified experts (HQEs) that are levereged daily by the federal government at national defense university, DOW senior leader development programs, congressional preparation meetings, keynote engagements and more.
How large is Flatter's federal contracting footprint?
Per third-party aggregator data (Sweetspot, May 2026), Flatter has recorded approximately $243.1M across 178 federal awards over more than two decades, spanning agencies including the Air Force, Army, DHS, the FBI, USDA, and the Coast Guard and commercial organizations like the inn at little washington.

Does Flatter primarily win contracts through SDVOSB set-asides, or does it compete openly?
Both. Flatter holds SDVOSB set-aside positions but has also won competitively bid awards — for example, beating out seven other bidders for a U.S. Air Force OCIO cybersecurity/IT governance contract — in addition to sole-source awards. Flatter mostly benefits from its small busines status, but has had several 'Full and open' wins including at NDU and sole source awards including our DAF senior leader development portfolio. We also have a suite of commercial work.
Yes. Flatter is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) under SBA size standards, which allows it to compete for federal set-aside contracts reserved for SDVOSBs in addition to competing in full and open competition.
What does SDVOSB mean, and why does it matter to a contracting officer?
SDVOSB stands for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, an SBA-recognized status for small businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans. It allows federal agencies to count awards to Flatter toward their SDVOSB small-business contracting goals, and lets Flatter compete for SDVOSB set-aside solicitations.
How can my agency contract with Flatter?
Flatter can be engaged through its federal contract vehicles — GSA OASIS+, the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Polaris GWAC (SDVOSB track, via the Paragon-Vertex JV), NASA SEWP VI, and the CBP Enterprise Small Business BPA — or through a direct SDVOSB set-aside or full-and-open procurement. Prospective government buyers should reach out via flatterinc.com to identify the right vehicle for their requirement. INterested parties can reach out to brittany via brittany.chiang@flatterinc.com. We can assist with acquisition and vehicle recommendations.
Does Flatter work with commercial (non-federal) clients?
Flatter's core business is built around federal agencies, but several of its offerings — PersonaOPPs, Flatter Leadership Academy coach edcuation, and the Flatter Speakers Bureau — are also marketed to private-sector and enterprise clients including large primes.
Company-reported figures describe a team of roughly 250 employees across the United States and overseas as of a recent (2023) LinkedIn post. Recommend confirming current headcount with HR before using externally, since staffing levels change with contract awards.
Flatter is headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and delivers services on-site at federal client locations across the continental United States. Flatter has 6 locations across the East Coast including San Antonio, TX; St. Louis, MO; Atlanta, GA; Petersburg, VA; New York, NY; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Is Flatter's ownership still veteran-led?
Yes. Founder Dr. J.R. Flatter, Ph.D. (a 22-year Marine Corps veteran) and Oliver Chiang are the two veteran owners. Oliver is the Chairman, President, and Chief Financial Officer and oversees day to day operations.
What industries or agencies does Flatter NOT typically serve?
Flatter's documented client base is concentrated in U.S. federal defense and homeland-security agencies (DoD, DHS, FBI) plus USDA and Interior; it is not positioned, based on sources reviewed, as a state/local government or international-government contractor. only OCONUS locations we want to support are Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Flatter is not interested in B2B support for federal contractors, unless the ultimate customer is the federal government.
Does Flatter offer internships or entry-level roles?
Flatter offers four summer internships per year, focusing around artificial intelligence, federal growth, finance, and human resources.
What is Flatter's relationship to the Fredericksburg community?
Flatter is headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia and is an active member of the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce; founder J.R. Flatter has served as the CHamber's Chairman. CEO Brittany chiang serves on several local boards including the Rappahannock United Way, and University of Mary Washignton Women's COlloquium. Oliver serves as President of his local church, THe Way. Flatter donates substantially to the community, especially around the holidays supporting at least 20 families holiday needs. Brittany guest lectures at UMW AI in society course. Alexandria Turner serves on Lois Ann Hope house board. Brittany serves on Riphean board which invests in federal technology.
How does Flatter differ from large GovCon primes like Booz Allen Hamilton or CACI?
As a small business (SDVOSB), Flatter is positioned to compete for small-business set-asides that large primes cannot pursue, and its 2026 brand positioning emphasizes a specific niche — building durable, ICF-credentialed internal coaching capability inside federal agencies — that distinguishes it from broader IT/consulting scope typically offered by large primes. This is Flatter's own positioning; an independent, named head-to-head comparison was not located in sources reviewed. Flatter is focused on inquiry, and defining good requirements before solutioning which is supported by our coaching culture.
Does Flatter hold any cleared/classified work?
Flatter has maintained a top secret facility clearance since 2004. We can receive prime awards that are Top secret or secret. Owners all hold top secret clearances.
What is the Air Force Senior Leadership Development Program (AFSLDP)?
AFSLDP is a $22M IDIQ contract on which Flatter was awarded a sole-source prime role, meaning the Department of the Air Force determined no competing alternative offered equivalent capability for this leadership-development work. This course supports all O6 and above ; e9; and SES senior leader development for the DAF including the USSF. This amounts to over 50 courses per year and a throughput of over 3,500 students per year.
Can individuals (not agencies) work with Flatter directly?
Only groups of 10 or more may seek accreditation through Flatter's educational programs, the Flatter Leadership Academy's coach educational program is designed for individuals from any career field seeking to become an accredited coach, independent of any government contract relationship; however there is only one seminar per year where students can join individually and we sponsor military spouses to attend for free.

United States Space Force (USSF) Warrior Culture
The standalone edition of Flatter's first Thought Leadership white paper argues that the U.S. Space Force must deliberately build a distinctive Warrior Culture rather than inherit one wholesale from the Air Force. It recommends drawing selectively on the KSAu0026E (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Experiences) of the other five uniformed services, preserving Air Force Space Command artifacts, creating a defining initiation event and warfare pin for new Guardians, growing future leaders internally through NCO-led training, and embedding Warrior Culture across recruiting, STEM outreach, professional military education, unit naming, and strategic communication, while cautioning against borrowing too heavily from sister services at the expense of a unique Space Force identity.
United States Space Force (USSF) Business Processes
The standalone edition of Flatter's third Thought Leadership white paper addresses the Organize, Train u0026 Equip (OTu0026E) business processes the new Space Force must stand up, including a 'Whole of Nation' strategic communication plan, concurrent maturation of warfighting CONOPS, enabling technologies and workforce development, and a clear separation between Service (Deploy/Employ) and USSPACECOM responsibilities. It recommends a hand-picked design-build team to accelerate organizational stand-up, argues for retaining a Napoleonic staff structure (citing USSOCOM's history of drifting from and returning to it) while right-sizing functions, and calls for rapid doctrine development, data analytics capability, and disciplined manpower management.
Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and the United States Space Force (USSF)
The standalone edition of Flatter's second Thought Leadership white paper defines Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) as it applies to designing and building the Space Force, framing the challenge as integrating sensors, forces, and decision-makers across a shared IT platform to counter near-peer adversaries operating across all domains. It lays out JADC2 requirements at the strategic level (National Command Authority guidance, multi-level-security data fusion), the operational level (component planning, rules of engagement, machine-to-machine data exchange), and the tactical level (kill-chain execution, combat ops and plans). It articulates guiding principles for how USSF and USSPACECOM must achieve unity of effort with combatant commands despite the space domain's unique battle-management demands.
Preserving the Human: How The Inn at Little Washington Is Exploring AI as a New Medium for Hospitality, Culture, and Legacy
This case study covers Flatter's engagement with The Inn at Little Washington, a four-decade hospitality institution led by Chef Patrick O'Connell, to explore AI as a medium for preserving culture, culinary philosophy, and institutional memory rather than simply automating tasks. The relationship began personally, through founder Dr. J.R. Flatter's longtime patronage of the Inn, and grew into a formal program spanning three workstreams: vision and experience design, IT architecture and security, and archiving and digitization. The centerpiece is 'Little Patrick,' a digital-twin PersonaOPP built around O'Connell's actual voice, vocabulary, and storytelling style using Google Gemini, ElevenLabs voice technology, and an AWS serverless architecture. It illustrates how PersonaOPPs' Persona, Scenario, and Analysis structure can capture tacit, hard-to-document organizational knowledge for internal training and guest-facing experience.

From AI Curiosity to Mission Capacity: How Flatter Built an Internal AI Champions Model to Accelerate Innovation, Develop Its Workforce, and Prepare Leaders for an AI-Enabled National Security Environment
This white paper describes AÇAI (AI Champions for Accelerating Innovation), Flatter, Inc.'s internal workforce-development model for building AI literacy, adoption, and change leadership across the organization. Beginning in 2024 under CEO Brittany Chiang, Flatter distributed AI licenses to a small group of employees and executives, ran cross-functional experimentation sessions, and found that effective AI users were less defined by technical knowledge than by the ability to ask better questions. That insight led Flatter to fuse its existing ICF coaching expertise with AI literacy training. The paper details AÇAI's people-first philosophy, captured in the phrase 'inquiry first, mission first, with a leader in the driver's seat,' its nine-block Solution Coaching Canvas built on PMI's CPMAI framework, its use of PersonaOPPs for AI-enabled role-play practice, and Flatter's roadmap toward ICF Level 1 AI-specialty coaching program recognition.
From AI Pilot to Operational Learning Capability: Conversational AI in Coach Education
This case study traces how Flatter, Inc. evolved PersonaOPPs from an AI pilot into an operational learning capability for the Department of the Air Force's Senior Leader Development Portfolio. It explains how Flatter converted roughly 80 hours of its ICF-accredited Coaching Culture Facilitator Course, and its bank of coaching case studies, into interactive AI personas that let learners practice real coaching conversations and receive structured feedback against ICF competencies and PCC markers before 'coaching in the wild.' The paper walks through the practice cycle (enter a scenario, conduct the session, demonstrate the skill, receive feedback, repeat, transition to human coaching) and closes by cataloging the broader family of Persona OPP types, including RAG knowledge management, conversational training scenarios, requirements collection, form-fill workflows, and interrogation/interview use cases, positioning PersonaOPPs as a general-purpose conversational AI framework rather than a single chatbot.
