Problem/Opportunity
The Client aimed to bid for Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Electronic Federal Aviation Administration Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) contract vehicle, as they possessed relevant capabilities and expertise in areas of Computer/Information Systems Development, Computer Systems Support, and Documentation & Training.
However, the Client faced challenges understanding the vehicle since submissions required much complex documentation. Additionally, the quick turnaround for the submission demanded experienced and trained proposal development and capture personnel.
iQuasar Solution
iQuasar’s dedicated Proposal Development resource handled and managed this task from the beginning to the end. Our proposal developer created summary documents and walked the Client through each requirement by creating compliance matrices and capability statements. We also helped our Client identify certain gaps by creating a gap analysis document. After several brainstorming sessions, we identified a potential teaming partner for the Client and reached out to them for the submission of this vehicle. iQuasar’s resource drafted the required Past Performances and helped the Client to fill out all the required forms. We compiled all the Representations and Certifications, and our proposal developer also assisted the Client with finalizing the price cost attachment.
How our Solution Created Value for the Client
iQuasar’s team followed the contract vehicle throughout its cycle and kept the Client updated about all the amendments released till the submission due date. Our dedicated resource ensured that all the documents were submitted on time via the submission portal. Our efforts resulted in the Client winning a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) issued as a Master Ordering Agreement (MOA) under the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST). Our Client was qualified and eligible to participate in the procurement process for contract awards within the Computer/Information Systems Development (CSD), Computer Systems Support (CSS), and Documentation & Training (D&T) functional areas, thus generating business and creating immense value for the Client in the federal marketplace.
