TheArtofBidding.com is dedicated to the art and science of moving goods and services to market.  This web site is useful to business managers responsible for their companies’ supply chain activities.  This information is sponsored by the African American Supplier Engagement Collaboration (AASEC) that serves a wide range of supply chain management issues for large and small enterprises.

The AASEC is in place to enhance supplier inclusion through the increased flow of goods and services by providing current information from initial sourcing all the way through to delivery to public and private sector end-users.  The AASEC shares vital information of purchasing opportunities from production planning, order processing and fulfillment, inventory management, transportation, distribution, and professional service requirements.

For some, this information on proposal estimating will be a refresher on how to submit an effective pricing plan, however, for other companies this may be just the information to create that winning response.  All buyers seek to make the best investment when selecting outside resources.  The supplier selection results from demonstrating efficiencies and generating the highest level of customer satisfaction at the most responsible lowest cost. In general all major buying entities look at the strategic, tactical, and operational functions of prospective suppliers.
