As we move into the busy Federal Contracting proposal season, there is one category of GovCon that really feels the crunch at the end of government fiscal year – VARs (Value Added Resellers) or resellers.

Why a proper pricing proposal schedule matters. You’ve been preparing and actively developing capture strategies for an upcoming bid and eagerly awaiting the draft or final RFP to drop.
