Course Curriculum

This is a two-day course on developing a winning federal Government cost volume. This Government contract pricing training discusses all aspects of winning cost volumes, aimed at both finance professionals and capture and proposal managers who are just starting to delve into the intricacies of Government pricing.

This course is composed of 50 percent lecture, 40 percent exercises, and 10 percent discussion.

Cost volume development training starts with cost proposal literacy. it shows differences between cost, price, price strategy, and price to win, and delves into such cost buildup elements as fringe, overhead, G&A, and fee. It covers allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of Government costs, and a slew of other important rules. It then dives into how the Government evaluates cost proposals so that you know what happens “behind the curtain.” It discusses cost proposal management during capture, including competitor price analysis and price-to-win fundamentals. It then dives into assumptions to set boundaries around cost, and techniques for bridging the gap between the proposal manager leading the technical proposal team, and those in your company who are pricing Government contracts.

Most often, price is the most important part of writing proposals for Government contracts, as it differentiates you from competition that may be technically equal. It is especially true when the Government uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria instead of Best Value. Even when it is the Best Value procurement, the lowest bidder will most likely get the award. Most companies, however, miss the most important elements of process and deliverable for the cost volume and fail to shine in an area where they could dominate. Take this course to maximize your Government price proposal win probability.
