TWGA engagements are structured to clear the compliance, OCI, and procurement gates federal evaluators apply during source selection — not retrofitted after award.
Advisory scopes are written with the FAR framework in mind — allowability, allocability, reasonableness, and procurement integrity. Every engagement is structured so it survives downstream prime QA, agency IG, or oversight review without rework.
Every prospective engagement is screened against the three FAR-defined OCI categories — biased ground rules, impaired objectivity, and unequal access — before contracting. Where exposure exists, mitigation plans are drafted into the Statement of Work, not deferred.
CUI, source-selection-sensitive, and procurement-integrity-protected information are walled off from downstream commercial engagements. Documented information-handling commitments included in every federal SOW.
Standard FAR Part 4 representations and certifications maintained current in SAM.gov. Professional liability and commercial general liability insurance, mutual NDAs, and DPAS rating framework on file — available to primes and contracting officers on request.
Detailed compliance documentation, OCI mitigation templates, and engagement artifacts available upon request under engagement.
The Worthington Group Aviation operates with explicit policies that protect the integrity of public-service appointments, federal procurement processes, and client engagements. The following positions are maintained as a matter of standing firm policy.
References on this site to federal agencies, programs, contractors, or boards (FAA, DoD, NFDC, NASA, BWI Marshall, Martin State, Maryland Aviation Administration, Leidos, Serco, and others) describe the founder’s professional history and operational context. They do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation of TWGA by any named agency, program, or organization.
Dr. Worthington’s appointments to the Maryland Aviation Commission and the Board of Airport Zoning Appeals are uncompensated public-service roles. Information and decision processes from those bodies are walled off from TWGA commercial engagements; no insider-access advisory is offered or accepted on the basis of those positions.
Every prospective federal engagement is screened against the three FAR-defined Organizational Conflict of Interest categories — biased ground rules, impaired objectivity, and unequal access to information — before contracting. Where exposure exists, mitigation plans are drafted into the Statement of Work, not deferred.
CUI, source-selection-sensitive, procurement-integrity-protected, and otherwise privileged information acquired in any federal role or engagement is not used in TWGA commercial work. Documented information-handling commitments are included in every federal SOW and remain in force after engagement close.
TWGA does not represent itself as having influence over federal procurement decisions, source selections, or contract awards. Advisory engagements are scoped to operational, regulatory, and strategic work product — not to procurement outcomes.
Standard FAR Part 4 representations and certifications are maintained current in SAM.gov. Professional liability and commercial general liability insurance, mutual NDAs, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and DPAS rating framework are on file and available to contracting officers, prime compliance teams, and engagement counterparties on request.

TWGA is structured as a clean teaming partner: clear capability posture, documented differentiators, principal-level delivery, and a registered federal footprint. We slot into subcontract scopes where direct air traffic, aviation safety, or aviation program advisory is required.
