As experienced government proposal writers, we have successfully accomplished many favorable results for businesses in various industries. Our clients have enjoyed success in gaining IDIQ contracts, firm fixed price contracts ranging from $400K to  $127.2 million in various industries and in several agencies. As compared to our competition, our key players in the proposal writing process have spent several years of actually awarding contracts for the federal government.

We have accomplished these results through applying proven strategies that most proposal consulting services simply don’t provide or overlook. They include:

  • A careful inquiry into what best value considerations you can offer the government (this is a critical aspect of gaining top consideration and competitiveness)
  • Critical review of technical and management key personnel

 

Know The Objectives of Proposal Writing for Government Bids

The key elements of writing a response to a government RFP contains five main objectives:

  1. Convincing the agency that you understand its problem and that you are a competitive force in the industry
  2. Provide a compelling technical capability that shows that you have high-level capability to take on this particle project.
  3. Demonstrating that your company poses the least risk to the government
  4. Proving that as a potential contractor your prices are fair and reasonable
  5. Demonstrating that your proposal brings the best value to the government (most often overlooked)

 

Why The Need For Outside Help?

A substantial amount of government contract bidders simply role the dice to see what happens. The result is generally ” we did not win.”  The question then becomes – what is it that makes a small amount of contractors so successful all the time? The answer is quite clear. Most successful government contractors invest in expert proposal writing services to improve their probabilities from a government request for proposals.

The objective is to know what the government knows and understand how it thinks. Our federal contract proposal writing consultants have both qualities.

  • We apply early legal review to highlight the common traps set forth in the solicitation.
  • This is an additional value that most proposal consulting services can not offer.

Get Into The Competitive Range

In your response to solicitations, your first objective to get into the final group for consideration. You first accomplish this by meeting the basic requirements in the solicitation. However, this alone does not get you an award.  Understanding the government RFP playing field is also essential to how you respond to your next government proposal. Research shows that:

  • 4 out of every 10 successful bidders continuously seek improved expert strategies to create winning proposals.
  • Poles showed 39.73 % had continuously invested in expert services to keep their revenues at a consistent high. In addition, it was not uncommon for these companies to spend anywhere from $24,000 to $47,300 on proposal writing services to a $5-15 Million Government RFP.
  • Out of the 40% mentioned, bidding contractors have a 16 % chance of actually getting the contract. This was based on the subjectivity of the individual agencies related to technical proposals
  • Your mission is to ultimately fall within the final 16%
  • The unmentioned 60% of contractors what adopt the traditional role-the-dice approach are almost guaranteed to end with no chance of winning the contract

  

Create Winning Proposal Strategies – Know The Process And How Agencies Think (You Need Both)

The key to submitting a winning proposal is understanding the procurement process and how the government thinks (having both can increase your chances by up to 35%.)

The government publishes its requirements to the public after conducting market research. It then awaits responses from the public to decide who are the best contractors to choose from. The agency looks for companies that (1) have exceptional management and (2) past performance capability and (3)that can solve its problem at a fair price. However, the winning proposal goes over and beyond the basics. 

Only 23% of government contracting dollars go to small businesses. In 2010 the amount of contracting dollars spend for commercial services and products have increased and will continue to do so.  There is plenty of dollars to go around. Let Watson improve your chances of winning some of it. The following gives you an idea of funds obligated by common federal departments.

  • DOD Obligated $258,267,390,000 for FY 2010
  • DOE Obligated $22,040,810,000 for FY 2010
  • GSA Obligated $11,522,860,000 for FY2010
  • VA Obligated $10,586,490,000 for FY 2010

 

Your goal is to capture a fair amount of those dollars and to keep your business alive in the tough economy. Watson’s proposal consultants help you to accomplish this goal by applying our proven methodology of proposal writing.

Our bidding strategists understand that winning proposals assure the government of high-caliber performance and excellent value with minimal risk. Our goal is to move your proposal beyond the basic compliance stage and into the exceptional category.
