    I found an RFI notice on Monday by browsing SAM, that we had missed. On Tuesday we wrote a response that I think will win the contract. This is a quick post to remind you that consistently doing the little things will lead to big wins. In this case, the little thing is checking SAM and your contract vehicles for RFIs and sources sought notices. Responding to the ones in your sweet spot will get you in front of a buyer in the best possible light. Take 15 minutes each day and make it a habit to look for RFIs that are right for your company. ___________________________________ 🔥 Join 26,105 others and subscribe to our GovCon newsletter | https://lnkd.in/es6qfwgk 👀 Follow me (Neil McDonnell) on LinkedIn™ and hit the 🔔 on my profile to see more government contracting content like 41,144 other people do.
