Consulting

Government bid work from both sides of the table: writing the requirement, and answering it. Independent of any press, so the advice serves the job rather than a shop’s idle capacity.

Government agency RFQ preparation

With 40 years of hands-on experience navigating global procurement and the government bid process for printed products, we offer consulting services to both government agencies and bid respondents. Whether you’re an agency drafting a request for bids or a vendor preparing a competitive proposal, our background on both sides of the table, across international and domestic procurement environments, gives us a unique perspective on what makes a bid process work.

For government agencies preparing to issue a request for bids on printed materials, we provide guidance on writing clear, accurate specifications, structuring evaluation criteria, and setting realistic timelines that attract qualified vendors. Our goal is to help you avoid ambiguous language or missing details that can lead to confusion, disputes, or a pool of unqualified respondents.
