Questions about Government & Defense insights
When should a challenger position against an incumbent?+
Twelve to eighteen months before recompete. That is the window where the program office is still open to teaming ideas and past-performance narratives can be built.
What signals reveal a real IDIQ task order?+
Draft SOW circulation, industry day attendance patterns, and RFI response quality from the incumbent. Together they predict a real award more reliably than the acquisition forecast.
How do small primes compete on capture?+
By reaching program offices earlier and shaping requirements through white papers and RFI responses, not by chasing published solicitations.
