Exstare Federal Services Group, LLC® is a full-service management consulting firm located in Alexandria, Virginia, a short distance from our nation’s capital. We specialize in designing high level policies, conducting analytical studies, providing support services, and engaging in advocacy for disadvantaged business enterprise participation in federally-assisted airport contracts and concessions.

Nancy K. West, Founder and Managing Member of Exstare, has been an effective member of government affairs, airport, and federal transportation management teams for nearly three decades. Her particular expertise is in the areas of public policy, and disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program development, implementation and analysis for federally-assisted airport contracts and concessions. Ms. West is well-known in the aviation industry for her experience and successful track record affecting national policies for federal DBE programs, airport funding, and other transportation initiatives. She is skilled at creating consensus among people and organizations with diverse interests and backgrounds, guiding organizations to help them achieve priorities, analyzing and synthesizing complex data, public speaking and marketing.

Exstare is distinguished from its competitors because of its rare combination of legislative, federal agency, airport, trade association and private sector experience. Exstare is sought after because of its top-level credentials, practical experience, integrity, and confidentiality in serving clients.

Since being established in May 2005, Exstare Federal Services Group, LLC® has become one of the most engaged and successful companies doing business in the aviation industry. The firm's diverse portfolio of clients includes airports; cities; large, small and emerging businesses; international companies; the Federal Aviation Administration; and law firms.
 
In May 2010, Exstare completed the first disparity study in the country dedicated solely to disadvantaged business enterprise participation in airport concessions.  Most recently, Exstare assisted LeighFisher in the research and development of the first ever airport concessions resource manual, a publication of the Transportation Research Board's Airport Cooperative Research Program.  The manual covers the full scope of planning, developing and managing in-terminal concessions, and is a useful tool for airport staff, policy makers, concessionaires and other airport stakeholders.
