Hi there,
Proposal season is in full swing! From 8(a) STARS II to Alliant II, now is the time to get ahead of the proposal rush.
My team has been working hard on dissecting these proposals, developing templates and supporting proposal responses. Please do let us know if you need assistance on any upcoming Federal, State or Local RFPs.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lancaster
CEO, Winvale
GSA is 
One of the first things you should do when considering bidding on a request for proposal (RFP) is a bid/no-bid assessment. When responding to a request for proposal (RFP), you have to submit a compliant proposal. Below are four basic questions you should ask yourself when trying to decide if you want to bid or not. If you ask yourself these questions before you start putting pen to paper, you will be able to identify whether or not you will be able to submit a compliant response.
There has been a lot of talk the last couple of years regarding when the FedRAMP certification program for cloud computing products would officially go into effect for the federal government. A couple of weeks ago we finally started seeing signs of progress with The Department of Defense (DoD) announcing security approvals for 23 cloud providers. Additionally, the GSA has implemented a new SIN 132-40 for Cloud IT Services under the IT 70 schedule. 
Contractor Assistance Visits (CAVs) are in-person or virtual meetings between GSA’s Industrial Operations Analysts (IOAs) and GSA contractors that are meant to assess processes and systems that your firm has in place. They are used to ensure your firm is aware of and in compliance with various clauses, terms, and conditions of your firm's GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract.
