This is session 1 of 2 in the Developing Cost and Price Proposals virtual course.
Responding to a government RFP requires a significant amount of time and resources. This virtual course is designed to give participants the foundation necessary to create comprehensive and competitive pricing bids for government contracts. Becoming an expert at responding to government procurements can take many years. This virtual course, however, provides the basis to reduce the learning curve dramatically.
Most pricing courses focus solely on the structural mechanics of building a cost proposal, omitting discussions on important factors that are frequently encountered during the pricing process. This virtual course goes beyond these basic pricing steps to give attendees a wider understanding of the entire proposal process as well as post award contract performance.
Upon completion of the course, attendees will:
Have a solid working knowledge of how to manage the Cost/Price Volume process
Ensure all RFP requirements are met
Be confident in the accuracy and quality of the Cost/Price Model
Have a well-written and supportive Cost/Price Narrative
Submit a compelling and compliant Cost/Price Volume
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be taken through the development of a response to a RFP and be able to demonstrate their ability to:
Review an RFP
Set Schedules and Identifying Challenges
Planning/Building the Model
Developing Labor Rates and Escalation
Collecting Subcontractor Inputs
Building Bases of Estimates (BOEs) for Staffing and Other Direct Costs (ODCs)
Applying Indirect Rates and Fee/Profit
Writing the Cost/Price Volume Narrative
Quality Control Considerations
Production/Delivery Considerations
Preparing the Audit File
NOTE: On-Demand Virtual Course sessions are not eligible for CLE/CPE credits.
