How to Win with Early Intelligence
It is important to know how the Federal Procurement Cycle works as it drives funding for discretionary spending. There are four phases to the procurement cycle and it is important to understand each phase and its role in Federal Business Development to maximize your chances of winning.
Budget - Every agency publishes a detailed spending and program budget that gives you advance information on specific problems that agencies are looking to solve, funding patterns of the project and key points of contact. Follow the money and identify key decision makers to start building relationships well before your competition.
PRE-RFP/Forecast - As part of the procurement process agencies publish Forecasts that alert Small businesses to an impending procurement within the next 6-12 months. It is very important to contact the right federal official and let them know that you are a qualified and responsible party looking to bid. This can help the Government setaside the contract for a particular socio-economic category like SDVOSB, 8(a), Woman-Owned or HUBZone business.
Solicitation - Once the Government decides to purchase a product or service, the Contracting Office publishes opportunities in FedBizOpps.gov for procurements over $25,000.
Award - Competing bid responses are evaluated and a winner is selected. This information is important to track as it may lead to sub-contracting opportunities with the prime contractor.
The successful Federal Contractor knows how hard it is to keep track of such a large marketplace with over $450 billion worth of procurements with over 400,000 firms. By relying on comprehensive and affordable market intelligence, they are able to effectively market their solutions to the right decision makers well before any kind of procurement activity hits FedBizOpps.gov.
