Dayton Aerospace led review teams use the government process, with experienced reviewers…to determine compliance as well as contributing to your proposal team to enhance and clarify the winning integrated picture!
Dayton Aerospace consultants are former senior-level government acquisition executives who have led and participated in numerous source selections and industry proposals. They are experts in program management, engineering, contracting, financial management production and support. Many have operational experience. We believe balanced review team membership is the best approach – a combination of internal experts and external consultants.
We can participate or lead any type of proposal review team exercise, including:
Black Hat [Competitive Assessment]. Anticipates competitor win strategies by assessing how they would beat you and the deal they will offer. Develops your program strengths by helping you, 1) capitalize on your strengths and their weaknesses, and 2) neutralize your weaknesses and their strengths.
Green Team [Story Board Review]. Ensures strategies and themes are properly integrated throughout proposal sections. Facilitates structuring both the word story and picture (graphics) story.
Pink Team [Draft Proposal Review]. Assesses whether the draft proposal meets the RFP requirements and is properly balanced, ensuring processes and past performance assertions. Reviews the integrated management framework and risk management approach. This review should be a small group of highly experienced reviewers – a mix of client and outside reviewers. The purpose is to document problems and make improvement recommendations.
Red Team [Final Proposal Review]. “Scores” the proposal, just as the source selection team will do their evaluation. We strongly recommend the same people be used on the Pink and Red Teams. The purpose is to review the second draft and document problems, issues, and recommendations for improvement.
Gold Team [Last Chance Review]. Includes a pricing review and/or top-level proposal review. The pricing review is a review of the Cost Volume. This review is a top level check, made by a core team, to make sure everything is present, Red Team comments have been appropriately considered, and there are no major discrepancies.
EN Review [Final Proposal Revision Review]. This last chance review ensures remaining source selection team questions have been adequately resolved and responses are clearly articulated.
