The speed of private sector technology development often surpasses the DoD’s ability to maintain full situational awareness of new and novel developments. They simply don’t know what you have developed. Therefore, it’s imperative that private sector companies know where to look and where to enter within the DoD Innovation Ecosystem. Our map demystifies the litany of portfolios, programs, and projects, while showing companies the total volume of on-boarding entities dedicated to technology development.

Capture management begins with identifying potential business opportunities, such as government contracts, that align with a company’s capabilities and objectives. This includes monitoring government requests for proposals (RFPs), contract opportunities, and market trends.
Companies need to conduct in-depth market analysis to understand the competitive landscape, customer requirements, budget constraints, and regulatory compliance within the defense sector. This analysis helps in assessing the feasibility and attractiveness of pursuing a particular opportunity.
After identifying potential opportunities, the company qualifies them to determine if they are worth pursuing. This involves assessing factors such as the potential contract value, alignment with the company’s core competencies, and the likelihood of success.
A dedicated capture team is formed, comprising experts in areas like business development, program management, technical expertise, and proposal writing. This team collaborates to strategize and execute the capture process effectively.
A detailed capture plan is created, outlining the steps to be taken, responsibilities, timelines, and strategies for winning the contract. The plan covers how the company will position itself, differentiate from competitors, and build relationships with key stakeholders.
Building relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders within the DoD is a crucial aspect of capture management. This includes engaging with government officials, end-users, and potential partners to gain insights and influence the contract award.
Understanding the competition is essential. The capture team conducts a thorough analysis of competitors, their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies to develop a competitive advantage.
Companies work on developing the best solution or proposal to meet the customer’s needs. This may involve the design of innovative technologies, systems, and services that align with the contract requirements.
Accurate cost estimation is a critical aspect of capture management, as it ensures that the proposed solution aligns with budget constraints and provides value for the DoD.
The capture team works on preparing a compelling proposal, which includes detailed technical, cost, and management plans, as well as a clear articulation of the company’s value proposition.
Identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with the project is part of the capture management process. This involves demonstrating the company’s ability to manage risks effectively.
In some cases, companies may need to present their proposal and negotiate contract terms with the DoD. The capture team plays a pivotal role in these phases.
After submitting the proposal, the capture team remains engaged with the customer, addressing questions, providing clarifications, and maintaining a positive relationship with key decision-makers.
If the company wins the contract, the capture management process transitions into contract management and execution. If the contract is not awarded, the capture team assesses the lessons learned and may continue to pursue future opportunities.
