Hello everyone!

I am new to government contracting, and I am in the market of selling SaaS. i want to understand the timeline a bit more.

For SaaS companies, do they bid on a contract, then build upon winning the contract? (bid then build)

Or do they build first, then bid on contracts?

Would the former be more suited as a SaaS consulting company that just delivers solutions if a government asks for a specific solution to be fulfilled and the latter be something more niche specific (i.e Palantir) ?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I am new to government contracting and I’m just wondering about the strictness of formatting submissions in the instructions.

I’ve answered to an RFI but I realize that some of my formatting was off.

For example, I formatted as exactly instructed: one inch margin. I mostly stayed within the margin but I had to squeeze a table that I kind of went over that margin

I was wondering if this will be a big deal for them to disregard my submission entirely. I was in the military before so I know the attention to detail thing is big deal and I should have caught it beforehand.

Thanks
