X-WR-CALDESC:Description\nThis training is designed to provide an in-depth 
 review of the Federal Government’s Uniform Contract Format (UCF) structure
  and contents\, and how to use that information to make better Bid “Go/No 
 Go” decisions.\n\nIt is widely recognized in government contracting that m
 ost companies have limited Bid and Proposal (B&P) budgets and that it ofte
 n takes a significant amount of time\, money\, and resources to develop a 
 responsive and competitive proposal.  Furthermore\, under the Federal Acqu
 isition Regulation (FAR)\, the government does not reimburse a company’s B
 &P costs. Those costs are considered a normal “cost of doing business” and
  are allowable under government contracts as an indirect expense to the ex
 tent that those costs are allocable and reasonable. Just because a company
  believes it can deliver the required government products and/or services 
 doesn’t mean that its proposal will be competitive and result in a contrac
 t award.  Given the fact that there are no guarantees that a company will 
 win any government contracts and recoup all or a portion of their B&P cost
 s\, it is important for a business to carefully choose which contract oppo
 rtunities they want to pursue.\n\nOne way of getting the most out of a lim
 ited B&P budget and increasing your company’s contract win rate is by cond
 ucting bid “Go/No Go” evaluations. These evaluations help prospective offe
 rors assess their core competencies\, resources\, and potential competitiv
 eness in light of the government’s solicitation requirements\, evaluation 
 factors\, and stated basis of award.\n\nIf you are new to the government m
 arketplace\, applying the tips and strategies discussed in this course wil
 l help you focus on contract opportunities that align with your core compe
 tencies\, better understand the government’s UCF structure/requirements\, 
 and increase your competitiveness.\n\nIf you are a seasoned government con
 tractor\, this course will provide you with strategies to achieve a better
  return on your B&P investments\, increase your competitive edge\, and imp
 rove your contract win rate.\n\nHere is a summary of what you’ll learn:\n
 \nHow requirements\, acquisition policies\, and thresholds drive governmen
 t procurement strategies and how this information can be used to fine-tune
  market capture efforts.\nRequired business capabilities for government pr
 ime contractors and subcontractors.\nHow to locate attractive contract opp
 ortunities that align with your company’s core capabilities and competitiv
 e strengths.\nHow to use the Uniform Contract Format (UCF) to better under
 stand the government’s requirements\, proposal instructions\, and source s
 election methodologies.\nHow to build and perform critical bid “Go/No Go” 
 evaluations based upon the government’s UCF requirements\, procurement str
 ategy\, and basis of award.\nHow to address and mitigate identified UCF ca
 pability shortfalls to improve your competitiveness and chances of winning
  government contracts.\nHow to demonstrate “responsibility” when your comp
 any currently does not have all of the capabilities to successfully comple
 te the government’s contract requirements.\nHow to evaluate the government
 ’s UCF requirements and conduct bid “Go/No Go” evaluations to improve your
