Closing Comments

Closing Remarks Proposal Submission Advice:

Check math Ensure consistency between Technical and Cost Volumes Ensure referenced attachments exist and with same nomenclature Specifically identify and support any proposed elements (e.g. technical approach, management approach, etc.). Citing current/past performance of similar efforts without “specifically” identifying and describing how your firm is going to perform/ execute the State of Objectives (SOO)/ Statement of Work (SOW) requirements is insufficient and will be evaluated as such Do NOT parrot back RFP requirements image1.wmf image2.png image3.jpeg image4.png
