Government Contract Bids & Proposals
To grow your business through federal government contracts, you need a winning bid and proposal strategy.
Most federal government agencies use a Request for Proposal, Request for Quote or Invitation to Bid process to find the products and services they need. More than a simple price quote, these documents outline the product specification, services, terms and conditions and other information needed to evaluate and award a contract. To be considered, your bid or proposal must respond to and comply with all the terms set by the contracting agency.
A winning bid proves that your company offers the best solution at the most competitive price. Note that most competitive does not necessarily mean cheapest. You often can justify a higher price by showing that your company charges a fair and reasonable price for a superior solution.
