Understanding The Stages Of Unsolicited Small Business Government Contract Proposals


‘SMALLTOFEDS”

“Most enterprises in government contracting encounter the possibility of submitting an unsolicited proposal. The perceived opportunity arises as a result of observing a requirement that the company could uniquely fulfill, but for which the government has yet to issue a formal solicitation.


These opportunities are normally large enough so they can’t be sold off a GSA schedule or an existing contract delivery order, and do not fall under FAR Part 12, “Commercial Contracting”

“Since your product or service is not on the funding docket with the agency it does not have a funding I.D. Your job is to get the technical and project personnel enthused enough about it to carve out a niche in their program area and support a funding request for it. They do so by to obtaining a solicitation I.D; money and authorization to buy from you.


The key to achieving the above is a good presentation revolving around your capability statement but supplemented by a pitch that should emphasize specifically how you understand the agency mission and that your offerings could further it.”
