Acquisition support involves planning, creating documents, and evaluating responses that result in an award of a government contract. These activities can include requirements definition, cost-benefit analysis, business process analysis, technology assessment, and proposal review.
HW&W's ApproachHW&W has developed a rigorous methodology to support the Federal acquisition process. It covers the statement of work (SOW), deliverables, schedule, and specific staffing experience requirements. The methodology is adapted to the requirements of each specific acquisition.
This process begins with a clear understanding of business needs and the extent to which those needs must be supported. This allows us to define requirements for the SOW and to identify key selection criteria. Specific projects may include any combination of the following:
- Reviewing contracts and other relevant documents
- Interviewing key personnel
- Identifying critical success factors
- Meeting with the Contracting Office to discuss format, policy, and specific language requirements
- Conducting best practices research using the government network to learn about similar procurements
- Developing evaluation criteria
- Assisting with development of the bidders list
- Assisting with proposal review
During the planning stages, HW&W examines the various program alternatives and strategies. The team helps conduct benchmarking, requests for proposals, and source selection. During source selection, HW&W offers cost-benefit analysis in order to identify the best vendor offering.
