Assignment 3: Acquiring a Contract With the Navy

Due Wednesday, March 4, 2020

Based on the same scenario as in Assignments 1 and 2, you are ready to begin considering the factors needed for your proposal based on RFP #123456789, dated 07/14/2014. Remember that another local competitor intends to submit a proposal as well.

Before beginning this assignment, review FAR Subpart 19.5—Set-Asides for Small Business, located at http://www.acquisition.gov/far/html/Subpart%2019_5… 

Additional factors to consider are as follows:

1.Both your company and your competitor’s company will qualify under the HUBZone Act 

(FAR 19.5). 

2.Based upon the scope of work required, your initial estimates for the contract will exceed $150,000. Therefore, you are willing to offer incentives to the Navy.

3.Your competitor intends to submit a proposal for a 1-year contract.

Write a 5–6 page paper in which you answer the following questions:

Question # 1

Examine two reasons why your business would qualify under the basic concepts of the HUBZone set-aside procedures. Provide a rationale for your response.

Question # 2

Analyze the primary ways in which a multiyear contract would benefit both the Navy and your business.

Question # 3

Determine whether your bid proposal should be based on a fixed-price, a cost-reimbursement, or a time-and-materials type of contract. Provide a rationale for your response.

Question # 4

Determine the category of incentives that you are willing to offer (i.e., cost, schedule, or performance). Provide a rationale for your response.

Question #5

Determine whether your bid proposal should be a technical, management, or cost proposal. Provide a rationale for your response.

Question # 6

Speculate on five potential risk factors that you will need to consider if your company is awarded the contract. Provide a rationale for your response.
