Marketing Tips Understand the structure and mission of targeted agency. Know the targeted agency s policies, procedures & restrictions (i.e. mandatory or preferred sources) Mine FBO and keep acquisitions on the radar Respond to Sources Sought Notices and RFIs. List your company as an interested vendor. LBs find you as a teaming partner this way. Utilize resources (i.e. PTACs, SBSs @ agency, SCORE) Gain experience and past performance as a sub, JV partner, or protégé. Use FPDS (fpds.gov) for market research. 27
SUMMARY We are the nation s experts in arctic engineering and construction. We are the design and construction agent for the Army, Air Force and Missile Defense Agency in Alaska. We are partnering with the State of Alaska to support the ongoing need for deep-draft navigation in the Arctic. Our programs have become more complex, diverse and globally oriented. We are prepared to provide response and recovery assistance for any natural or manmade disaster within the Pacific Region. Alaska District Workforce in July 2014 28
