RGi President Brian Loggins spoke with the WashingtonExec. this week about how we provide an #ImmediateImpact for our government clients, and stand out among other GovCons. “What makes us different is the quality of our work, the quality of our people. I know a lot of companies can say that, but the difference with us is we’re very deliberate and focused on hiring the best, most innovative-type people, and then only going after the really innovative, complex kinds of work."

Government Contracting #govcon seems to be a labyrinth 😕to many outsiders and newer folks coming into the space. I once created an Access database🧮 at a previous employer many years ago to highlight the importance of good data management and common unique identifiers... As the company tended to have some byzantine processes and nomenclature that I was trying to flesh out and focus 🔍on measuring the things that matter. So I've seen quite a bit of diverse contracts from over $100M 💰annual jobs to ones under $100K. I believe the process is essentially the same to ensure a smooth transition from pre-award to 🥇post-award. It starts with being able to accurately code 🔣your contract into your system of record. Do your #proposal 📚and #pricing 💵documents match the contract award 📝documents? Check that before you 🖋sign! Had an experience recently where there was some ambiguity 😵with a contract modification document in what it was doing as it relates to the changes we proposed. Some contracts get complex when you get to a dozen mods or so with many CLINs, SLINs, and 🗜ARCNs... IYKYK We both had differing interpretations🗣 as we worked through the document. There was a 💪🏼challenge with all the moving parts and new CLINs added and old ones removed and it turns out that we both had the same initial confusion that it wasn't done correctly... However, when we dug ⛏deeper into the changes in Section B (contract values) and Section G (funding values) we determined that this customer was doing It's important to have a uniform 🥋methodology on how you read and review your contract documents before you sign it and book the funding and contract values in your accounting system. Set your books up right the first time, or you'll pay💸 for it over-and-over again each month. And get the right people 🤼 and departments involved! Make it a great week 👊🏼

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released the final Request for Proposal (RFP) of their highly anticipated Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) VI Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) yesterday, May 23rd, 2024. There were significant changes to the proposal instructions that offerors need to be aware of. For reference, SEWP is the largest and most successful GWAC that every agency in the Federal Government uses. It is a must win for all IT value-added resellers and IT services companies. NASA will award a contract to every company that meets the minimum requirements. Key dates for the proposal are: - RFP posted to SAM.gov – May 23, 2024 - SEWP VI RFP Comment Tool – Deadline for Questions: June 7th, 2024, at 5 pm - SEWP VI Informational Webex – June 4th, 2024, at 1 pm (virtual); #bd #businessdevelopment #businessdevelopmenttraining #coaching #contractproposal #govcon #nasa #ostglobal #ostglobalsoutions #procurement #sewp #sewpvi #winmorebd

You can learn a lot about how much a government agency values competition and innovation by looking at RFI and RFP due dates between Dec 24th and Jan 2nd. For example, a DoD agency issued a sole source notice late on Dec 29th with a 2-day turnaround—on New Year’s Eve. C’mon, man. Setting deadlines like this doesn’t just limit participation—it signals a lack of interest in finding diverse solutions to real problems. It feels more like checking the box than fostering competition or driving innovation.
