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). Consequently, we request that those of you needing proposal preparation services give us some advance notice. Should you decide to wait until the last minute – erroneously believing you may reduce Bid & Proposal costs – it is quite likely the appropriate (for you) consultant talent will be scarce to non-existent. Give us a call (703-689-9600), and we can begin helping you identify your anticipated needs based on the program(s) you are tracking. |
