GCA Opportunity ID: W912ER110112-CC
The Challenge
In the early 2010s, Afghanistan construction was one of the most competitive federal markets in the world. Silver Opus Solutions was pursuing the US Army Corps of Engineers' Troop Housing Phase 4 design and construction program at Bagram Air Base, a $29M project, without an internal capture and proposal organization to run the pursuit.
The GCA Approach
GCA's team became that organization. Resources deployed to Washington, DC to engage directly with Silver Opus's government customers, while dedicated research and proposal development teams ran the pursuit. Working alongside Silver Opus's engineers and construction experts, the team formulated the operational and pricing strategies the bid was built on.
The engagement went further than the win: GCA's team hired and trained a full-time, organic capture and proposal team inside Silver Opus, turning an outsourced capability into a permanent one.
The Result
Silver Opus won the $29M Troop Housing Phase 4 contract in 2011, and the in-house team built during the engagement went on to capture further work independently. That is the model: we win the contract, and if you want, we build the machine that wins the next one.
“By acting as an extension of Silver Opus's business development capabilities, WSGC played a crucial role in positioning the company for growth and success in the competitive government contracting market.”Chad Bowen · CEO, Silver Opus Solutions (2010-2013)
