Best Practices For Program Offices. Competitive Source Selections and Sole-Source Proposal Evaluations

Abstract

In today's challenging acquisition environment, regardless of the extent of competition involved, Government program offices must dedicate significant resources to proposal evaluations and source selections in support of major acquisitions. Leveraging more than 30 years of collective experience with cost analysis and contract negotiation, Rocholl and Loudin offer practical strategies for program office and ancillary staff. Their guidebook addresses two fundamentally different evaluation processes: competitive source selections and sole-source proposal evaluations. Best practices for facility design, team organization, and assignment of roles and responsibilities are also shared.
