I'm starting on a new project for a client for whom I've done some proposals in the past. From the looks of it, I will probably be working 2-3 weeks on this proposal, which is for the U.S. Army. The proposal process is what is called a "two-step" procedure, meaning that proposals will be submitted in (obviously) two steps. For the first step, we will submit a Technical Proposal only. Then, if the Army deems the proposal acceptable based on the RFP evaluation criteria, my client will be asked to submit a Price Proposal. The bidder with the lowest price will be awarded the contract.
So for the next few weeks, I am thinking that I might focus this blog on my day-to-day activities with respect to this particular proposal. I'm not sure it will work, but it could be interesting and may provide some insights into the overall proposal development process. I'm going to give it a whirl.
Day 1 of my Proposal Saga will begin on Monday. Stay tuned.
