POST AWARD MARKETING REQUIREMENTS/ON-GOING CONTRACT ACTIVITIES

There are many different types of contracts within the government sector. Increasingly popular within many federal agencies are Multiple Award Contracts. This contract type is a pre-negotiated contract that allows for direct acquisition by procurement officials without going our for competitive offers. Normally, once awarded, companies are placed on a short list of other awarded manufacturers/service providers (hence the term "Multiple Award") that federal agencies must use. As this contract becomes popular amongst your competitors, more companies receive award, the requirements for companies to market to the high use agencies becomes crucial to continued success. The government does provide venues for certain marketing functions such as allowing the awardee to list contract award information on various government sites, availability to high end user lists, and public notification of your award. However, to heighten your potential for success under this program, it is expected that your company take an active role in marketing your services to those high use agencies. Our experience has shown that post-award marketing activities are crucial to sustained profitable growth in the government arena. To that end, we offer our expertise to practically guarantee success.

Other types of contracts represent an order or contract for either commercially available products/services or products manufactured to strict government specifications. In both cases, there are specific requirements for labeling, packaging, bar-coding, and in some cases a facility inspection prior to award of a contract. We work as a liaison between the government and our client, ensuring that the client has a clear understanding of the contract requirements, are prepared for the contract, and are prepared for and will pass, any pre-award inspection.
