Suppose that you own a small company which makes widgets. Cautiously review the federal government acquisition process and find out how you would best position yourself long before you place your first government bid. Describe the advantages of your preparations.

Examine the elements of both the technical assessment and the past performance assessment. Next, find out which is the most difficult to assess from the federal government viewpoint and how you (as a business owner) could make the evaluation process simpler. Then, directly respond to the assessment of a fellow learner and assess his or her post (on-ground students will describe the positions).
