Frequently Asked Questions
How are your fees structured?
Our fees are flexible and aligned to engagement needs. Ongoing business development, capture advisory, proposal and orals support are typically time-and-material based, while discrete efforts such as growth plans, market intelligence, or transaction advisory are often firm fixed price.
Do you offer fractional support?
Yes. Fractional support is a core part of our model. We provide targeted expertise across market intelligence, business development, capture, and senior growth leadership, including fractional Chief Growth Officer and Chief Revenue Officer support.
How do I access your principals and subject matter experts?
Directly and by design. We align the right DWPA Principals and SMEs to each engagement based on objectives and maintain hands-on involvement throughout the effort.
What types of acquisition opportunities does DWPA support?
We support all types of acquisition opportunities, from highly complex FedSIM and GSA Assisted Acquisition opportunities, to GWAC and scorecard opportunities, to agency specific IDIQ and RFP responses, to OTAs and SIBRs. We are the one stop for all of your acquisition support needs.
How quickly can you get started?
Immediately. Once scope and agreements are aligned, our teams move rapidly to support client priorities and timelines.
How do you manage potential conflicts of interest?
Protecting client information is fundamental to our operation. We maintain a rigorous Organizational Conflict of Interest process and support only one client per competitive single-award opportunity for late capture, proposal, and orals support.
