Approach
We craft specialized documents and methodical workflows: letter of intent (LOI), qualification summary, scope of work, past performance, capability statements, good faith requirements for D/M/WBEs, and more. Prime ensures your technical narrative clearly communicates who you are, what you do, and what makes you the most qualified to win the solicitation award or contract.
Proposal
The key to winning an award to is research and master pricing. We research previously awarded contracts to help you avoid the pitfalls of under and overpricing. If you underprice, you won’t make a profit and can’t sustain operations. If you overprice, you may be rejected from final consideration in lieu of another, more reasonable bid. Lately, we’ve seen a trend of “buying contracts” to win bids. Our team also accounts for fringe benefits and health & welfare (H&W), so your true project costs are realized.
Review
Prime ensures your documents remain in compliance with solicitation requirements. If there’s any additional support materials required, we have you covered. Remember, submitting the proposal is just the beginning. To win, you must commit to the long game, which means continuous correspondence with the Committee Review team to ensure they have all the required documentation they need. It’s not always easy, but it is worth it!
