Hello Skool friends,
A rising tide lifts all boats.
What this is:
An unsolicited proposal is how a small business pitches a new idea directly to a U.S. federal agency without responding to a solicitation, RFP, or RFI. It's governed by FAR Subpart 15.6 and it's one of the few formal channels where a small company can get a federal agency to consider an idea the agency hasn't already asked for.
The problem: the rules are dense, the samples that exist online are mostly written for Fortune 500 primes, and a first-time small business has no good way to tell whether their idea even qualifies — let alone how to write it up correctly.
