The first generation of this methodology, developed by the Institute’s Executive Director in the 1980s, guided a defense contractor into entering and winning new business in the non-defense, civilian agency market. Today, the current generation of this methodology continues to guide firms in capturing new business and protecting existing business – from single award pursuits, to multiple-award pursuits, to winning major ID/IQ contract vehicles..
