Learn What the Government Looks For
When responding to a Request for Proposal, you must know that the agency looks for. You will not stand a chance of being considered for the award by just parroting the Statement of Work back to the government. Instead the government wants to know that:
- You are well-versed in the industry
- You understand the government’s problem
- You have the technical capability and management team to perform
- You pose minimal risk if you are awarded the contract
- Your price is fair and reasonable
Common Mistakes in RFPs
Many contractors simply shoot from the hip when it comes to government bids. Others try to find templates and simply believe that there are short cuts to winning bids for millions of dollars – not so in government bidding.
Responding to a government requet for proposal is unique ‘animal’ when compared to the commercial sector. You simply need a proposal writer that understands how the game is played. That’s the bottom line.
Our Proposal Consulting Services
When clients contact us, they find a proposal writer that understands the federal procurement process. They don’t just find technical writers. Instead, they get RFP proposal expertise that improves the chances of winning. At Watson & Associates, we propose three levels of proposal writing services:
Entire Proposal Preparation: This is usually the most expensive level. Our consultants will write the entire proposal and acquire specific information from your key players. We will
- Prepare all formatting
- Include relevant graphics
- Interact with your top management throughout the process
- Provide you with a professional end product for submission
Proposal Critique & Review: This level of proposal consulting is less expensive. Here, the corporation has internal capability to write the proposal but needs the experience d set of eyes of the contracting officer. Watson & Associates has on staff former contracting officers and former contracting officials that have actually sat on government contract RFP source selection teams. We simply know what the agency looks for in a proposal. At this level we will:
- Review the entire solicitation
- Initially consult with the key players and actual proposal writer (s)
- Provide a roadmap of how the various sections must be addressed
- Address past performance matters
- Discuss best value considerations that make your proposal more competitive
- Review and critique the end product before submission
RFP Proposal Review: This level of proposal consulting is the least expensive. Companies that are used to responding to the government’s Request for Proposal simply need their final product reviewed by an experienced proposal writing consultant. We will:
- Review the solicitation
- Provide feedback and suggestions to improve your chances of award
Understand Teaming and Joint Venture Proposals
Many contractors intend to use teaming partners when submitting their government proposal. However, they make no mention of it in the response, or often try to show more of their teaming partner’s capability and past performance than their own. This is a fatal mistake that can cost you the contract if your RFP is protested.
Our government proposal writing and consulting staff also includes government contract attorneys that are very familiar with the land mines in proposal writing. This additional value to our proposal service sets us apart from other consultants that lack the skill and knowledge of government contract law.
Submit Adequate Subcontracting Plans
Large businesses must submit a small business subcontracting plan when bidding on federal contracts that are greater than $550K ($1million for construction). Our proposal writing service can help you to write an acceptable subcontracting plan with your RFP.
