DOING BUSINESS
Marketing to DoD
Follow the money.
Arm yourself with information and facts, not emotion.
Find your niche. Don’t try to be everything to everybody.
Target your market and understand your prospective customer’s mission, environment, challenges and hot buttons.
Meet with Small Business Professionals.
Don’t provide a standard, canned presentation to potential customers. Research their requirements and understand their challenges.
Explain how your service or product has a positive impact on a project’s cost, schedule and performance.
Identify your differentiators—what separates you from other great performers?
Translate the relevancy of your past performance; don’t expect a prospective customer to do it for you.
When you meet with Program Managers and Contracting Officers, be prepared to discuss a real requirement, not your generic capabilities.”

Policies Impacting Subcontracting
34
• Issue: SSRs under a Commercial Subcontracting Plan submitted to incorrect DoD organization, making it difficult to determine the contracting office responsible for accepting the SSR.
• Recommendation: Signature page should include
• Company Information:
Name, title, phone # and email of the person within the company who is submitting the plan; company name; signature and date
• DoD Contracting Organization Information:
Name, title, phone # and email of the person approving the plan; department/agency contracting organization name; signature and date
• Company Information:
Name, title, phone # and email of the person within the company who is submitting the SSR
Issues Impacting SubcontractingReporting / Reviewing
35
• Issue: Administering Contracting Office and Awarding Contracting Offices are different. The awarding office is responsible for accepting ISR; however, eSRS “places” the ISR at the administering contracting office based in contract information in FPDS
• Recommendation: DoD uses a “work-around”
• Create additional role in the eSRS registration of the awarding contracting official to be at Dept of Defense (9700)
