Frequently Asked Questions
How should I position my firm for both administrative and consulting opportunities?
These are different markets—administrative is volume/efficiency play, consulting is expertise/value-add play. If your firm does both, develop separate past performance portfolios and pricing strategies. Don't mix them in a proposal—agencies want to see that you understand the distinction.
What credentials do I need to win DoD R&D work?
PhDs in relevant STEM fields, published research, funded grants, and laboratory experience are essential. Your proposal should highlight your team's scientific credentials, research publications, and past federally-funded R&D projects. This is credentialing-driven work.
