Proposal Writing
| | Organizing a Winning Proposal Activity
By David Krigelman, President
Krigelman & Associates, Inc.
Have questions for David? Send David an email
Proposals for Government
contracts come in all shapes and sizes. The following discussion reflects my
thoughts on organizing to support a major proposal activity in response to a
Government Request for Proposal (RFP). However, it is recognized that smaller
proposals do not need a complex team in order to win. In fact, I have worked on
proposals where there were three people involved in addition to myself - a
writer/editor, a graphics arts specialist, and a word processing specialist.
It should be mentioned that
for major proposal efforts it was originally thought desirable to have the
multi-disciplinary proposal team co-located in one facility for convenience of
communication. However, the advent of computer networking via the Internet, the
development of collaborative web sites, along with teleconferencing and
videoconferencing, has made this requirement somewhat obsolete.

Import/Export Strategies
| |
Three Ways Foreign Trade Zones Can Improve Cash Flow
A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is a specially designated area
that is under US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) supervision.
Normally, the FTZ's are located in or near CBP ports of entry but outside of
CBP's territory. They can be operated by the companies that use them or they can
be contracted by a third party operation. The state of Florida has 20 designated
FTZs which can be found on the website.
How can a Foreign Trade Zone benefit you as a
manufacturer or importer/exporter?
There are several ways in which you can use an FTZ:
- Import the part into your designated FTZ
without paying any duty: If you are a US manufacturer of
finished goods and need to import individual parts that carry a higher
duty than the final product, you can import high duty parts into a designated
FTZ for final assembly. When the finished product leaves the FTZ, it will ship
under the duty rate of the finished good rather than the duty rate of the
individual part.
