If you have not been following or pursuing this opportunity, then take notice! Amendment #5 was released on 22 July with answers to questions for the RFP (although not all of ~4,400 questions were answered).

Proposals are due NLT 28 August at noon ET.
Solo Vs. Team-Based Proposal Software

The size of your organization may influence your choice of proposal software and whether or not to use a service that is priced by the user. To evaluate whether this pricing model aligns with your needs, be sure to compare solo (individual) proposal software with team-based options.
Individual User Proposal Software
If you’re operating a small business or if you’re the Individual User responsible for proposals in your organization, proposal software can cater to your specific needs. As a single user, you can fully exploit the proposal software, optimizing the features that enable you to create, design, alter, and deliver proposals to your clients. The only drawback might be the lack of access to team collaboration tools embedded in most of the top proposal software systems, which are designed to boost collaboration and productivity.
Team-based Proposal Software
On the other hand, team-based proposal software provides a unified platform for your entire sales team, facilitating effortless performance monitoring and standardized procedures. It comes with features like interaction analytics and real-time chat that can convert your prospective clients into software users. The enhanced user experience, coupled with digital signature technology, can result in 44% of your documents being signed within an hour and a 51% higher success rate overall. The potential downside of team-based proposal software might be the time it takes to adopt across your organization compared to solo software. However, the benefits certainly outweigh this minor setback!
