The Construction Industry offers tremendous opportunities and challenges for any business owner. However, when your customer is the federal government, there is an extra layer of requirements that can either make or break your business. Just putting together a bid or proposal is a test of skill and attention to detail, but what comes next? The Government’s selection process for the ultimate awardee of the contract is unlike any other. Join Jennifer Horn and Maria Panichelli for the WIPP/Give Me 5 webinar The Fundamentals of the FAR, Part 2: The Source Selection Process on Wednesday, February 25th at 2:00pm. In this presentation, you will learn about “best value” and “trade off”, the source selection process, and tips that will help you use the selection process to your advantage to win more contracts!
