One-on-One Discussion Topics
The government intends to consolidate three separate but similar contracts. Can your organization meet this requirement as written?
If not, should this requirement be segmented?
If so, how would your organization propose segmentation?
The government is truly seeking competition, is the timeline too aggressive to propose?
If so, what is your organizations recommended schedule for award by 30 September 2024?
Staffing is critical to mission success, are there any additional evaluation factors the government should consider?
