Back to Basics
Before you start to write your proposal, it's important to read the FAR and understand what constitutes an adequate proposal. To help, the FAR includes a checklist detailing what needs to be included and you must provide supporting data for all costs. Price = Cost + Profit.
Your cost is made up of the cost of labor, supplies, procurement materials and your overhead. That plus your profit, or the margin you stand to make, equals your price.” – Ellen Beebe, The Formula for Cost Proposals on Government Contracts.
