This is part 1 of 3 in the Strategic Pricing Webinar Series Creating a compelling Government proposal requires strategy, analysis, and tough decisions. To be valuable, all three of these need the investment of time. Companies want to have a high win percentage for the bids they pursue. But if you wait until the RFP comes out to begin pricing, you are actually reducing the likelihood of an award. Sure, some companies win waiting to price their proposals at the end of the process. But they usually have some ingrained advantage or some luck. Most companies cannot win waiting to price until the end. Successful companies begin the capture phase for both their technical solutions and strategic pricing well before the RFP drops. Walk with us through the benefits to starting pricing first. Learning Objectives:  Understand why competitive analysis is so crucial to your win rate  Discover what you gain by using capture phase time to plan, gather data, and outline decision points  How to write teaming agreements to protect your interests  Determine what the right teaming arrangement is for each opportunity  Learn what strategic pricing activities take the longest

That usually (but not always) includes updates to:  Cybersecurity requirements  Changes to labor regulations and enforcement  Domestic preferences; and  Small business regulations Each session will be jammed packed with the latest information and is a valuable tool in staying up to date in an ever-changing environment.

Our final session, we'll discuss "uncompensated overtime," sometimes called green time or competitive time. It is essential for Government contractors to understand the concept of uncompensated overtime. Uncompensated overtime may impact contract pricing, contract accounting, and contract reporting. Noncompliances with the requirements may lead to over/under absorption of cost, defective pricing allegations, and FAR and CAS non-compliances. Join us as we clarify the confusion surrounding uncompensated overtime. We will explain the terminology and circumstances in which it may occur. Next, we'll illustrate pricing and accounting implications with examples and explore strategies to ensure accurate cost calculations for accounting and pricing while avoiding potential compliance issues.
