Have you ever stared at a 100-page government solicitation document and thought, “There has to be a better approach”? Government contracting poses many challenges for small businesses. Reviewing a 100-page solicitation document or documents requires substantial time and expertise, as dense contract language and technical requirements can be difficult to interpret accurately.
This situation becomes even more daunting for small business owners who are already juggling multiple responsibilities. Investing hours in scrutinizing a federal contract to determine whether an opportunity is worthwhile is not an effective use of time and resources.

That’s exactly the problem the Oppy Deep Dive Report was designed to solve.

 

The Challenges of Government Contracting

Securing federal contracts comes with numerous complexities, especially when dealing with intricate solicitation documents. If you’ve ever pursued a federal contract, you know the challenges:
  • Solicitation documents are highly detailed and complex. They’re not written for clarity; they are designed to cover every administrative and procedural description possible. Reading one from cover to cover can consume your entire day, and you might still miss crucial details.

  • Time constraints create additional pressure. As we can see in the Image above, this opportunity has a due date of “05/09/2025.” That might seem like plenty of time, but when you factor in the effort required to create a competitive proposal, every day counts.
  • For small businesses, these challenges hit even harder. You don’t have a dedicated team of proposal specialists who can parse these documents while you focus on running your business. Every hour you spend reviewing a contract that turns out to be a poor fit is an hour stolen from your core operations.
