Incumbents do not always win recompetitions. Contact Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) if you need help. Be persistent. Plan ahead – allow 1.5 to 2 years to prepare a proposal for major requirement. Response to sources sought synopses. Consider teaming arrangements if requirements are steep. Engage with program elements. Know their mission and requirements. Create a demand by becoming a solution to DOE requirements, instead of just fishing for work. Attend outreach sessions and network with other contractors. 14 |
