Dayton Aerospace consultants aren’t just proposal process experts…we are true subject matter experts. Our wealth of knowledge and experience from both participating in government source selections and assisting with industry proposals results in more efficient support with winning results!
The Dayton Aerospace proposal philosophy centers on:
1)
tailoring support to specific, and changing customer requirements,
2)
staying focused on the RFP requirements and source selection discriminators,
3)
doing the homework up front and early
4)
following a disciplined process, and
5)
ensuring all proposal parts are integrated and tightly correlated.
A key discriminator of the Dayton Aerospace proposal process is our agility and flexibility to adapt our level of support to changing proposal requirements. We maintain the capability to adjust staffing levels – up or down – as the situation dictates and support the full range of proposals from large aircraft acquisitions to task order proposals.
Our proposal process has been developed using a combination of the best practices that we have seen from all of the proposal houses. We tailor our process to meet the specific needs of each company and each solicitation. We believe the proposal should never be taken out of the customer’s hands; preferring instead to collaboratively produce a winning proposal – using Dayton Aerospace proposal experts and company program experts. The common denominators to our proposal successes are:
Early customer focus and quiet aggressive influence on requirements
