Ten years ago, the government did not utilize Sources Sought as a primary acquisition tool; however, that’s not the case anymore. This year, for example, between 8% - 10% of opportunities in FBO are sources sought. Most companies respond to a sources sought by only answering the given questions and providing the information requested by the government. But did you know that, if done right, your response to sources sought can “influence the acquisition?” On October 18 at 1 p.m. EDT Joshua Frank from RSM Federal will explain how to use sources sought strategically. He will also share examples to help you maximize your understanding of the various techniques and strategies for responding to a sources sought to influence the acquisition. As a client of CT PTAC, you can attend this webinar at no cost to you. So, if this topic is of interest to you, check out the details below and register today.
