Pre-Award Planning
The next stage of the acquisition life cycle is requirements definition. The objective is to field new equipment, material, or services that satisfy an approved statement of work or need. Pre-award planning ensures that the solution to be acquired will meet objectives for performance, cost, schedule, scope, and compliance.
Horne International delivers pre-award planning services to help customers define a requirement, draft and direct performance-based statements of work, prepare acquisition plans and delivery schedules, draft requests for proposals, and develop documentation required to prepare a contract to field a new capability.
We also work with customers to ensure strategic sourcing, including —
- Developing source selection planning and techniques
- Finding new suppliers
- Justifying other than full and open competition
- Handling source qualification and selection
