How do I leverage my business for competitive bids?
Post Date: May 22, 2024
- Be proactive by understanding whether your offerings are subject to public bidding and when the next bidding cycle is anticipated.
- Familiarize yourself with your competitors and the requirements of the agency.
- Understand the bidding process. If the scope is limited (for instance, to a specific manufacturer), inform the contracting officer about the value of competitive products with established track records. If they insist on maintaining the same scope, explore opportunities to establish new partnerships before the bid release.
