Avoid Common Pitfalls

Large and small contractors fall into common traps that almost guaranty failure. Our goal is to help you to avoid these pitfalls that include:

Not reading the RFP from front to back (at least a couple times). Most bidders simply go directly to the rating criteria.
Failure to create outlines (this mistake harms the critical organization for meeting the deadline).
Turning the solicitation requirements into what you want it to say – this is a deadly mistake. The government sets forth the requirements. You must address them as stated.
Not up-playing project management and key personnel. This is considered the ‘kiss of death’ when bidding on a government contract. The agency typical assign of high percentage of risk if the technical proposal does not show qualified key personnel and management
Creating an RFP response that creates a ‘pass through.’ Not only is practice forbidden under the rules but most companies seldom realize that they can lose the bid award via a bid protest.
Adding too much “fluff” in your proposal. So many contractors make this fatal error. Contracting Officers are turned off by this approach (that works well in the commercial sector). Everyone says how great they are but never tell the government why and how it applies to the particular project at hand.

Effectively Utilize Teaming Agreements in Proposal Responses

Under the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Subsection 9.6, bidders are allowed to use teaming partners. This provides for effective use of resources that each company may not have individually. Our RFP and proposal writing consultants show you how to effectively and legally carve out teaming agreements that comply with the rules.

Furthermore, we educate you on how to minimize the risk of losing on Size Protest to the Small Business Administration (SBA). Common points to know include:

You cannot pass on critical parts of a government contract to teaming partner (subcontractor).
The prime contractor must demonstrate 100% control in the proposal.
When submitting a response to the RFP, the teaming agreement must articulate the responsibilities of all partners involved.

Learn Critical Elements of Proposal Development

A well written government contract proposal response must address four important points.

You demonstrate that you understand the government’s problem
Your company is experienced in the industry and can bring innovation
Your proposal can solve the problem with minimal risk and high probability of successful performance
Your pricing is fair and reasonable

Learn Effective Pricing Strategies for Your Proposals

Knowing how to develop competitive pricing for government contracts can be a daunting process. Our government contract proposal writers, understand the agency’s pricing methodology.

The government buys commercial services and products. As such, the government estimate should reflect what similar services or products cost in the commercial sector when writing its request for proposal and considering fair and reasonable pricing. Our government contract proposal writers understand that:

Pricing alone is not the standard for award. Many contractors focus on this factor and sometimes price themselves into inability to actual perform.
Government contract law suggest that best value, and not pricing, is the basis for award. Unfortunately some government agencies ignore this rule. However, the agency is not bound to pay high pricing for your proposed services. It is up to you to add value and justify your pricing
