PROGRAMS COVERED IN FEBRUARY 13 WEBINAR (2/2)
DOC (NOAA): Professional and Technical Services (Pro-Tech) » Estimated value: $3.5 billion » A news article published to the agency website indicates an RFP is to be published by the close

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES TO WATCH
Army likely to consolidate multiple-award contracts (MACs) rather than issue replacement contracts » BGOV predicts this could take the form of combining SSES NexGen and S3 into R2-4G » Consolidation could increase the number of companies receiving a contract award at the
indefinite-delivery vehicle (IDV) level, and increase competition of lower-value and shorter-duration task orders • Current contractors by IDV are as follows: S3 (eight vendors), R2-3G (18 vendors), SSES
NexGen (12 vendors)
With 110 days remaining in fiscal 2014, time to develop a strategy for Q4 spending activity » BGOV analysis finds that $154.8 billion, or about 34 percent, of fiscal 2013 spending occurred
in the fourth quarter » Fiscal 2013 Q4 obligations: July ($36.2 billion), August ($35.9 billion) and September
($83.4 billion)

FINDING A PARTNER IN SUBCONTRACTOR SEARCH
Solution Development Concepts When Competing for DOD Services

Tip:
Start your solution development planning well in advance of the release of the formal solicitation.

Solution Development Encompasses Multiple Dimensions
Overall Solution
Technical Solution
Management Solution
Past Performance Solution
Price Solution
Risk Management Solution
17
Facilitated solution development sessions should result in “solution decks”. These decks become usable for capture planning and proposal activity and help shape your win strategy.

Solution Development and Price to Win
23
Understand contract parameters: LPTA, best value, other. Regardless of contract type, be compliant and know the acceptable competitive range of DOD customer. Collaborate with customer whenever possible. Do your homework on competitive assessment and price-to-win.
Best Practice Tips for Solution Development Make sure the solution is explicitly linked
to customer requirements and “hot buttons” – customer focus is key!
Integrate the Solution Development efforts with other “capture” activities
Set “solution freeze date” and stick to it
Solution Development, Capture Planning, and Price-to-Win must all be coordinated
Use tracking tools to monitor progress of solution development throughout the business capture cycle
24
Summary When developing solutions for DOD Services contracts:
Collaborate with the customer early
Don’t perform solution development in a vacuum
Start early to define your solution around hot buttons
Set a “solution freeze” target early in proposal process
Consider Price-to-Win during solution development
Be prepared and know your customer!
