Best Practices for Constructing Responsive Proposals
This event qualifies for 1.5 CPEs
Every day, contractors are removed from the competitive range of procurements because of inadequate or nonresponsive proposals. This session will provide a comprehensive, section-by-section review of the “request for proposals” (RFP), as well as how to prepare adequate and responsive proposals—including format; technical, management, and cost volumes; and the FARclauses “incorporated by reference.”
Takeaways:
- A section-by-section review of the RFP,
- How to properly respond to all RFP requirements,
- What “clauses incorporated by reference” mean to your organization, and
- How to prepare a responsive proposal.
