The government can write a solicitation around a single contractor when that contractor supplies the specific requirement language, from minimum past performance to licensing, that gets copied into the statement of work.
Ryan Atencio, a federal contracting strategist, walks through how a small business gives the buyer the exact spec details to include so the posted contract fits one company, plus how SDVOSB and woman-owned set-asides and the acquisition.gov forecast open earlier paths to a win.
What you'll learn in this episode:
How to feed contractor-specific requirements into a statement of work so the solicitation favors your business
Why the DOD 5 percent goal for veteran and service-disabled veteran businesses is set to expand, and how to position for it
How to use the acquisition.gov forecast to spot a recompete up to a year before the RFP drops
How to reach the COR and the actual customer while an opportunity is still pre-solicitation
Why vague construction solicitations can be won on price and corrected later through a legitimate contract modification
