Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review all solicitation documents downloaded from JAGGAER. Pay close attention to the scope of work, technical requirements, and any specific instructions for proposal formatting and content.
Given the Small Diverse Business and Veteran Business Enterprise goals, clearly outline how your firm will meet these requirements. If partnering, ensure your teaming agreements are solid and well-documented. Attending the virtual information session is highly recommended, as significant changes to SDB and VBE requirements have been made, and failure to meet them may result in a nonresponsive proposal. While questions can be asked during the session, only written questions submitted through the Q&A Board in JAGGAER will receive official responses that become part of the RFP.
