FED / RFP

Government Proposal Writing

Development of the written proposal response encompassing technical, management, quality control, past performance, cost, and any other requirements of the solicitation.

Every proposal is built around our client's input, specific to the way the client does business. We develop the full written response to the solicitation so your company is presented accurately and completely.

  • Technical and management volumes
  • Quality control and past performance
  • Cost and pricing volume support
  • Compliance with every solicitation requirement
GSA / MAS

GSA Schedule (MAS) Services

DKA has extensive experience with the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Service (FSS) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), better known as the GSA Schedule.

We've helped hundreds of companies list their products and services. A Schedule is worth having when you want agencies to buy from you repeatedly without running a new competition each time.

  • New offers, Streamlined and Fast Lane applications
  • Joint venture applications
  • GSA Advantage listings and catalog modifications
  • Pricing, Economic Price Adjustments and option extensions
  • Quarterly sales reporting and IFF payments
  • HUBZone and 8(a) certification assistance
BID / NO-BID

Opportunity Analysis & Teaming

Success takes more than finding bidding opportunities. It requires finding the right ones and pursuing them in the best way possible.

Before substantial proposal effort begins, we assess the solicitation's requirements, competitive positioning, capability fit and risks. Many government contracts are won by teams, so we also help identify capability gaps, find complementary teammates and structure prime and subcontractor roles.

  • Solicitation and requirements analysis
  • Bid / no-bid evaluation
  • Teammate identification and prime / sub positioning
  • Coordinating proposal responsibilities across a team
POST-SUBMIT

Post-Submittal & Post-Award Support

Our involvement doesn't stop when the proposal is submitted. We stay with you through clarifications, discussions, revisions and the transition into performance.

After submission, we help with clarification requests, deficiency reports, discussions, final proposal revisions, oral presentation preparation and pre-award surveys. After award, we help with required plans and procedures, phase-in and transition, and contract modifications.

  • Clarifications, discussions and final proposal revisions
  • Oral presentation and pre-award survey preparation
  • Phase-in, transition plans and procedures
  • Contract modifications and ongoing support

Contract vehicles

Different vehicles. Different strategies.

The right approach depends on whether a vehicle is continuously open, periodically on-ramped, closed to new primes, or focused on task order competition.

Don't hold the vehicle? Teaming may still create a path to the opportunity.
