Contractor teaming arrangements is another consideration area when developing your plan. Contractor teaming arrangements allows both you and the teaming partner to act as the prime MAS contractor. These arrangements allow you and your teaming partner with the ability to provide the customer with a “total solution” by allowing you the ability to combine contractors’ complementary capabilities, while at the same time retaining the ability to focus on your own core areas of expertise. Contractor teaming arrangements also give you a competitive edge, expand and enhance your visibility, and allow you to share the risks and rewards with your fellow team members. Entering into contractor teaming arrangements expands the wealth of opportunities available to you because you can submit a quote for an entire project that you would otherwise been unavailable to your organization under your MAS contract. Lastly, consider who may be your potential teaming partners and develop relationships with those organizations so that you can seize the benefits of contracting teaming through your MAS contract. To learn more about teaming visit the contractor teaming arrangements section of the GSA schedule’s home page, which contains an abundance of information needed in crafting your plan.
As we have mentioned before, there are many sources where you can find federal officials to contact. Examples include: Federal Yellow Book Mailing List; and Officials listed in FPDS-NG or FedBizzOpps. We also suggest you scan industry publications to see if there is a future need in the federal market for your products and/or services. Some examples of publications you may want to scan are: Government Executive Magazine; Federal Computer Week; Government Computer News; Washington Technology; Federal Times. Please note that GSA does not specifically endorse any one of these publications over another.
