PROCESS
An important distinction between Mansfield Associates and other proposal development organizations is that we are not bound by process. Proposals are not "off the shelf” efforts. Each solicitation response requires a custom designed approach. We provide schedules, road maps, and proposal templates which are designed to promote readability and appeal to the evaluator(s). The detailed analysis of Section L and M (in addition to the other solicitation sections)allows the development of a narrative outline that is responsive to the requirements. Working closely with your personnel we will produce a winning proposal as a team. Our major concern is partnering with your company to achieve effective results. Our efforts are transparent to your staff and will result in a seamless output.
The response to solicitations require an in-depth analysis of the RFP, SOW, PWS, and other elements of the proposal. Addtiionally, the technical library often provided by the Government must be analyzed for each annex/section of solicitation. The detailed labor and material responses required by the proposal are deduced from information in the technical library. This technical library is the foundation for elements of the cost/price volume.
Experience will show that Past performance will mirror relevance for each solicitation requirement.
Mansfield Associates has software which will mirror that of your company and relate to all solicitation requirements. Typically we use:
Microsoft XP/Vista/Windows 7, Office 2007 Suite, Microsoft Project Manager, Microsoft Visio, Smart Draw 2008, PDF-Word conversion, Photosuite CS, DVD Laserscribe, Video editing, etc. We utilize and maintain several desktop computers with large LCD displays, 3 laptops with video processing capabilities, and production capability to turn-key your proposal effort.
