OCI Sets New Standard for Speed

Miscellaneous
Having the largest pool of proposal talent in the nation allows OCI to provide the most responsive service in the proposal support industry.  Here is an example.  On 11 May 2010, we received an urgent request for 5 graphic artists.  We proposed qualified talent and had the candidates approved and ready for assignment within 20 minutes.  We are glad to handle urgent orders.  When possible, however, a little more time is helpful.

An Open Letter from OCI to Our Customers

Miscellaneous
The proposal business is expected to be fast and furious during CY2010. The appropriations are done, several of the largest programs are nearing release, and a deluge of activity is forthcoming.
 
We believe activity will be especially intense during the Second Quarter (April, May, and June). If you anticipate needing proposal support around this time, please provide us with advance notice of your requirements. Talent selection will be limited as the demand for proposal professionals increase, making it more difficult for us to find talent to match your requirements and budget.
 
Give us a call at 703-689-9600 and we will help you identify the talent you will need for the program(s) you are tracking.
