The iQuasar Solution
iQuasar assigned a team of proposal development resources to work on specific proposal development projects of the Client. A majority of these project-specific engagements included work when the Client did not have enough time to respond to a government solicitation or did not have quality resources available in-house. Our team developed processes and tools to engage with the Client and develop Client specific artifacts that could be reused for multiple submissions. This project-specific Proposal Development Process Outsourcing© service from iQuasar allows a Client to put targeted effort on a portion of its government contracting work.
