Examples
Stover & Associates, Inc. was selected to provide proposal preparation advisory services to three Government depot organizations required to write nine different proposals. These depots were competing with private industry for work that otherwise would have been assigned directly to the depot. The clients were production and maintenance personnel who would eventually accomplish the actual work. These individuals had virtually no experience in writing competitive proposals. In fact, many had never even seen a solicitation. We leveraged our Government contracting expertise with our experience in supporting private industry in proposal efforts to design and deliver top quality results. In this particular case, we have an enviable winning record of "seven for seven" on those programs that have been awarded. Of particular note, we supported Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in winning the $434 million contract for C-5 Maintenance announced in September 1997.
Additionally, in January 1995, Stover & Associates, Inc. was selected by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) and their contracting agency, the Defense Information Technology Contracting Office (DITCO), to support a major source selection. We worked hand-in-hand with these Government professionals to develop a best value source selection process, train their evaluators and establish their plans. We successfully completed this effort and guided DeCA through to completion of their first Major Automated Information System Review Council (MAISRC) source selection. As a result of our outstanding performance, DeCA has retained our services to aid their Program Office in managing the contract. We are now providing contract management, maintenance analysis, technical documentation, tailored Microsoft Access database design, data warehouse implementation, and public affairs support to this premier DeCA program. Most recently, we supported the Agency in a best value source selection for the technology refresh of a major DeCA system and are now continuing with program management support.
