Building Teams to Pursue Federal Contract Awards
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 small business contracting goal was 23%. That goal was surpassed with an all-time high of 28.4% of Federal contract dollars being awarded to small businesses. Most times, small businesses must team with other firms to provide comprehensive and credible solutions to U.S. Government agencies’ procurements. Building a team can stretch the limited resources of a small business.
This is precisely where Riverscape’s InfoSquirrelTM Teaming and Proposal Management platform helps. Members can search the growing Business Network of firms by Location, Business Status (e.g., Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business [SDVOSB]), Certifications (e.g., ISO 20000), Customers (e.g., Department of Justice), North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Codes, and Capabilities. Some firms also include their capability statement.
Clearly, InfoSquirrelTM streamlines the process of identifying potential teaming partners and assembling the best-fit Team. An added benefit is that you as a member can communicate with the leadership of a potential teaming partner directly in the platform. The communication tool is robust, allowing up to 5,000 characters for your message. Given that the average word has ~5 characters, this translates to 1,000 words.
As a proposal professional with 37 years in the Government Contracting marketspace, I see considerable value in InfoSquirrelTM. Suggest that you check it out at https://lnkd.in/eZGe55A7.
