Approach Analysis
Market Assessment / Mission Analysis
A Market Assessment provides insights into competitors and, more importantly, which competitors are successfully marketing and selling their products/solutions to the federal government. The Market Assessment should highlight the demand for the product, what is working, what’s not, and prospective customers. PM13s Market Assessment can answer questions:
Market Research
- What products/services are currently being purchased?
- Who are the vendors of record?
- What are the features/benefits?
- What do DoD end users see as needed technological improvements?
- What is the market opportunity?
- What potential contract purchasing mechanisms are based on program history/trajectory?
Synergistic Partnerships
- Partnerships may present themselves during the assessment, allowing for opportunities to integrate custom solutions into another system producing a new product offering.
Technology Assessment
- Evaluate company technology vs. what is currently in use and determine relevance and potential opportunities for market penetration. What development is required, or is the product/service effective as-is?
- Determine if the product requires R&D to militarize
- Determine if the product can be evaluated, tested, and sold as “Commercial Off the Shelf” (COTS)
Subject Matter Experts
- DoD Contacts on most installations and in many programs
- Access to the end-users to evaluate technologies
- Industry experts
Develop a Plan
- Product Development
- Target Marketing
- Sales Positioning
Funding Opportunities
- Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracting – established programs
- Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) - no money changes hands but gives access to government testing and resources at no cost
- Other Transaction Authority (OTA) - faster contracting mechanism with an emphasis on R&D
Development
Business Development
PM13 Defense Solutions will take the time to understand your product and its unique selling features. Understand who in the DoD would benefit from your solution or service and work with you to develop a targeted marketing strategy. PM13 will strive to identify, attract and acquire new business opportunities for clients that drive growth and profitability. Our approach is rooted in the following:
Marketing
Evaluate the product/service for potential military applications.
Strategic Partnerships
Seek out strategic partnerships and influencers that will assist with establishing or increasing market presence within the DoD bureaucracy
New Market Opportunities
Are there additional opportunities for your product?
Our goal is to increase sales growth, expand business through effective marketing within the DoD, and position your company to capture new and future opportunities.
Government Technologies
Introducing New Technologies to the Government
We assist the company in explaining the product/service applicability to the DoD and how it is transitional for the developer and transformative for the user. Make clear the product/service advantages over existing systems and how they can help users in their day-to-day work
- PM13 Defense Solutions bases its approach on customer solutions first, making sure customers understand the benefits and value of the developed solution:
- This lets customers know what the go-to-market product is available right now without asking for more development time and money
- If there are additional requirements, it allows customers to understand the complete time frame to develop instead of short spurts of development which can take years and only incrementally solve problems
- Help identify what changes are critical for the DoD
- Show how the product/service can reduce cognitive/physical burden, save time, and increase productivity
