Proposal Development

CAI/SISCo has more than 30 years experience providing professional proposal development services to the government IT, C&E and S&T bidder community. For major proposals, our capabilities cover the gamut of response development activities, including planning, organizing, staffing, managing and supporting.

Proposals can be developed either at your site or on our premises in Frederick, MD. Regardless of venue, CAI/SISCo can supply:

all needed equipment to rapidly deploy a collaborative development and production environment on a short-term lease basis; and
professional, creative and experienced staffers.

CAI/SISCo has an integrated systems approach to proposal development. We use a modern Lotus Notes®-based foundation for the information infrastructure. Using an electronic version of the RFP, we develop a well-defined proposal structure mapped to RFP requirements, and electronically allocate it to local and remote authors. The structure is associated with supporting themes and discriminators that need to be woven through the proposal response. A draft Executive Summary, produced through the facilitation process, presents a horizontal cross-section of the proposal's Volume structure. This brings out each Volume's theme statements as part of a persuasive and cogent summary of the attributes and benefits of the solution being offered. At any point during the proposal development process, "trial" versions of the product can be generated.

CAI/SISCo's professional services, in support of a typical client's proposal development effort, may include:

Proposal Management;
RFP Shredding, Outline Development and Allocation;
Conceptual Design/System Architecture Development;
Dynamic Storyboards;
System Engineering; and
Program Management System Design.

CAI/SISCo's proposal development resource is second to none. CAI/SISCo has access to thousands of proximate and experienced proposal professional temporaries. This virtual business development resource embraces the diverse skills and experience necessary to populate winning proposal teams. Our resource, which is maintained as an integral part of the CAI/SISCo InfoCenter™ database, includes contributors to just about every past or pending major government proposal effort.
