PURSUING FEDERAL A-E CONTRACTS
In Pursuit of Federal A-E Contracts
Are you interested in pursuing federal A-E contracts, but either don't know how to go about it, or know the basics, but haven't had much luck getting past the pre-selection committee? Manos Architects shares your interest and, while we haven't yet landed that big fish, we have learned a lot about what federal contracting people look for in responses, how to read between the lines of the Commerce Business Daily announcements, and how to structure the SF 254's and SF 255's for maximum impact.
We've also spent a lot of time researching contract awards and have come up with some very interesting -- and, for the architectural community, somewhat disturbing -- findings.
Below are the titles of the articles in our three-part series on this topic.
We look forward to your feedback and to sharing your experiences with the solicitation process.
