Making Tech Procurement Easier: A Simple Tool to Improve Government Solicitations

If you’ve ever tried to read a government solicitation for new technology — or written one — you know how confusing and time-consuming it can be. Important details are often buried in long, dense documents, making it hard for vendors to even figure out if they should apply.

In this workshop, we’ll share a simple but powerful idea: adding a one-page “summary sheet” to technology solicitations. This evidence-based approach helps government teams clearly communicate what they’re looking for — and helps vendors quickly understand whether the opportunity is a good fit.
