142 ENCORE - Proposal Schedules

If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)This is an encore presentation of a very early episode. How much time does Industry need to prepare and submit a proposal? How much is not enough? How much is too much? What is Industry doing with that time? Failure to communicate can cause Industry to struggle to submit a compliant proposal on time, often leaving the Government with fewer high quality proposals to consider. Kevin and Paul tackle both sides of the proposal response time question and offer guidance on how to find a balance between the extremes of too little and too much time.__________Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting. It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession. Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
