Pricing Government Contracts to Win
Dr. Curtis A. Merriweather, Jr. discusses various government contracting and entrepreneurship topics. Dr. Curtis was named a Game-changer by the White House Policy Advisor for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in 2020. He has secured more than $1B+ in contract ceiling. Dr. Curtis will provide practical techniques, tips, and tricks to aid your entrepreneurial journey on this channel.
In the video, Dr. Curtis shares content he would normally share with government contracting students. He discusses factors that every government contractor should consider when developing pricing. Dr. Curtis emphasizes the importance of pricing correctly to avoid learning from costly mistakes and lack of profitability. They use an example involving a fictional prime contractor called ABC and assume a rate of $100 per hour for subcontractors (which may vary slightly). Dr. Curtis stresses the importance of wrap rates, target rates, billable hours, and salary data to determine direct labor thresholds.
