    Alan Pentz replied to the topic RFP-EZ: Innovation or Redundancy? in the forum Acquisition, Contracting, Procurement 7 years, 6 months ago

    I’d also like to know federal managers have only used the process 10 times. Do they want people with more fed experience who know how to navigate the federal IT rules? Do they not want more bids to sift through? Is it, as you say, yet another tool that has to compete amongst a group of already familiar tools that do the same thing? Or something else.

    David. Good questions. Seems like the government needs the soft skills and has designed a hiring process based almost entirely on hard skills.
