OK, enough whining about the blog. Someone who knows more about these things is going to look into the problems for me (and hopefully solve some of them).
This has been a somewhat interesting week. Earlier in the week, I got a call from the client for whom I did a proposal critique last month. It seems that they have received an amendment to the original RFP after proposals were submitted. This is somewhat unusual, since most amendments are issued prior to the proposal due date. Nevertheless, there it was. The client sent me the amendment along with their original proposal, which I never did get to see. They were wondering if they should submit a question about the amendment and how/if they should make changes to their original proposal. I advised them not to ask the question, due to the (probably slim) possibility that it could raise a protest issue with other bidders. I also gave them some suggestions on how to make revisions to their proposal.
Then, a couple of days ago I heard from a company that I had met with in early July. This company is interested in getting into the government contracting arena. They had done a lot of research and homework on government contracting, and felt they needed someone who could help them respond to future RFPs. So they had found me on the web and called me. At that time, they didn't have a specific RFP in mind, but now they have found one that they are interested in. So tomorrow or early next week I expect to have a signed contract to assist them with this bid.
Of course, I also have the workplans, which I have written about previously. So August may not be too slow a month after all.
