Pre-award Planning
Managing the risks of a government contract starts well before the award. After all, to properly manage the post award performance risks, one must understand those risks not only prior to award but prior to even submission of a proposal.
In some cases winning an award can literally make or break a company. It may be a large multi-year requirement and those failing to win the award will have little to do for a long time to come.
Similarly, the award could establish the particular technology that will be used on all of the follow-on production contracts. So again, those failing to win the development effort could have nothing but spares and repairs on a declining system.
In still other cases, the new contract could be the start of a totally new adventure for the organization and understanding the requirements and their associated risks is essential.
