How do you analyze an RFP before writing an SDVOSB proposal?
RFP analysis starts with reading Section M (evaluation factors) first — this tells you what the evaluators care most about. Then read Section L (instructions to offerors) for format and page limit requirements. Study Section C (statement of work) to understand technical requirements. Check Section H for special contract requirements and Section I for contract clauses. Create a compliance matrix mapping each requirement to a proposal section.
