The Problem/Challenge
In order to grow its revenue, the Client needed a highly-skilled proposal development team with in-depth knowledge of the Federal, State, and Commercial procurement bidding process. The major challenge was to have the capacity to write timely proposal responses for Federal and State RFI’s, RFQ’s, Task Orders, and SOW’s. In addition, the Client also needed to manage deployed resources utilization, track work, coordinate between teams, manage documents, version control of existing documents on modifications, and creation of high-quality responses.
The iQuasar Solution
To overcome the challenges faced by the Client, iQuasar offered its Dedicated Proposal Development Process Outsourcing© (PDPO©) service, in which our resources work as extended team members of the Client. The dedicated resources are highly experienced and skilled team members, with experience in the full Proposal Development Life Cycle that includes opportunity search, tracking, development, submission, and document management. These resources bring extensive experience of working on various Contract Vehicles and knowledge of using industry best practice processes like CMMI, ISO, ITIL, PMBOK methodologies to the engagement.
iQuasar’s Dedicated PDPO© team started with small proposals and managed the response submissions on schedule and with excellent writing using compelling win themes. The team quickly built a level of trust with the Client to take on bigger proposals, including a mega proposal that had a ceiling price of about $5 billion. This proposal submission project involved a new contract vehicle, Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS), jointly sourced by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the General Services Administration (GSA). The Client engaged our team in creating a response that included fifteen volumes on different legs of the project to address Eligibility, Pool Application and Certification, Past Performance for Relevant Experience Projects, Accreditations, and Price. Each volume needed about roughly 25 documents to be created, resulting in hundreds of documents to support the Client’s bid.
