Overview

Creating and submitting an unsolicited proposal to a federal agency can effectively position your company to contract directly with federal decision-makers without a formal solicitation or request for proposal (RFP). The best part of the process for businesses is that the result is a direct contract award with ZERO competitors because you are the one who developed the SOW requirements. The unsolicited proposal process can be used for products, services, innovative technology or a better way for agencies to meet their missions - all based on your expertise and ability to help meet an agency's needs.
