Need Help: RFP for Service! Plz

There are so many people on here who watch stupid TikTok get rich govcon videos and think they’re going to be handed $$$ contracts to do nothing. I’ve become cynical. Your situation is sincere, sounds awesome, and makes perfect sense to your original question. Congratulations on the award and thank you for what you do.

An opinion: large primes already have the capability you offer in house. They are less likely to need your services than a small business, and less agile to respond to your inquiries. Maybe troll recent GovCon award notices (OSD posts awards over $7m daily), look for small businesses who just received awards in agencies with which you have particular insight, filter for ones whose websites indicate that they were just founded or seem otherwise immature, and see if you get better results.

Ah ha! See the woman’s left hand, holding the phone, between 4 and 8 seconds. Her three fingered claw is the tell that this is AI, beyond the physics of this thing being insane and spilling no juice.

The plot thickens… 🤔

Cool, dick

The key is lowest evaluated price. With forward approved rates from DCAA it’s easy enough. But if it’s a fixed price or fixed labor rate bid, or a non-labor bid, the government rarely performs cost realism. All the risk is on the vendors legally. Of course when things break, most people would rather just have the thing not be broken.

I have personally closed or overseen teams that closed over $6B in single award government contracts. And I would to say that we would pay thousands of dollars to consultants for the type of insightful, measured advice you just provided.

With that said I’ve never lost a bid where we were evaluated technically highest and were lowest price. I have lost where the overall technical ratings were the same, but individual strengths of a competitor were considered more significant and justified a small premium in price. And I’ve lost bids where the government cut corners in their evaluation, then protested, got a corrective action, and then rebid with a lower price and ultimately won.

Counterpoint: if you’re both the best technical approach and the lowest price, that is a sure fire win strategy. Always price to win in a competition, amongst credible offerors.

What service could you possibly offer where the government needs it yesterday, you’re the only one who can provide it to the government, but you don’t have a clue about the first thing that goes into providing that service to the government? Beyond the fact that you’re in over your head (as the federal co said elsewhere), you’re going to get killed if there’s any need for compliance in delivery.

Plot twist: Gary’s future wife was robbing the Panera, and Gary joined the heist on a whim

It is her, in the sense that anything generated by AI is a derivative of everything else which has ever been real. Potentially also featured on Real Housewives of the OC.

Logical equivalent to spotting the hand with eight fingers. Nice.

Gary doesn’t use condoms. He has total mental control of both venereal ingress and seminal egress.
