PRICE Systems Lands Third Major Contract in Federal MarketAfter announcing two major contract awards in the Federal market last month, PRICE Systems rolled to another major contract win in July with GovWorks, the Federal Acquisition Center under the Department of the Interior. Continuing a strategy of teaming with complementary technology and services companies, PRICE is partnering on the contract with Cherokee Information Services, a Native American, Veteran, and Employee-owned company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The recent wins provide alternative contract vehicles that make PRICE more accessible to existing Federal market customers as well as new prospects. 
Historical Trend Analysis Improves SMART Procurement for UK DefenceHistorical Trend Analysis (HTA) using parametric models to normalize historical project costs and investigate trends has become a weapon of the UK's Defence Procurement Agency to predict acquisition costs and schedules for future systems. New guidance for the agency's SMART procurement initiative recognizes HTA as a means to compare other cost estimating methods. In a short article appearing in the UK's PROJECT magazine, PRICE System's senior executive consultant Dale Shermon explores the benefits and alerts UK Defence contractors about including HTA in their proposals for future systems. On-Demand Webcast: CAIV ModelingIn just 30 minutes, PRICE Systems' cost research analyst Josh Wilson presents a hypothetical best value proposal with CAIV modeling for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including descriptions of the step-by-step estimating process using PRICE tools. |
