Proposal Templates Work

A typical multiple vendor contract (vehicle) usually has very little original content and lends itself to a template approach to proposal writing. Typically, a proposal for vehicle requires the following elements:

Element/Requirement Frequency of Requirement Template?
Contract Administration/Management Plan Resumes (seldom) Qualification Descriptions (almost always) Pricing Templates Sample Task Order (or First Task Order) (Sometimes) Usually Yes, modify and refine model text
Reference Questionnaire Sometimes No, no original content but a logistical nightmare
Qualification Descriptions Almost always Modify and refine off-the-shelf project descriptions
Resumes Seldom Modify and refine off-the-shelf resumes
Sample Task Order (or First Task Order) Sometimes Go find the technical writer, this is usually the only original content
Pricing Templates Always Government provides the templates and the CFO is saddled with a lot of work
