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.
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provides this procurement method so that the government can benefit from the knowledge and concepts of the private sector to find innovative ideas, new technology, overcome challenges, and assess the effectiveness of different methodologies that can help meet agency mission.
Some agencies have dedicated staff to assist with the unsolicited proposal process and others are actively working on unsolicited proposals for innovative products, technology, or management approach and to address a specific agency need before a formal requirement is developed. This is important as the unsolicited proposal process provides an exclusive avenue for qualified vendors to get their solutions considered by key federal decision-makers.
