Some of my Innovation Fellow colleagues at GSA are trying to do just that: making it easier for modern, small web development shops to apply for government IT contracts.
I'm getting a ton of errors trying to register for RFPEZ. Everything from timeouts to 500 server errors. Feels like the Healthcare.gov issue all over again.
Also, why would one need to "provide a link to an image of your best work"? That seems very contrary to the point of procurement - especially given that so little of the opportunities are for actual design work. Furthermore, how does one link to work performed on an intranet, etc. (as most government work is)?
Seems like it needs to be thought out a little better. Is the "best work" link part of the selection criteria? How does this work with FAR requirements or simplify the RFP/RFQ process?
i just signed up for RFP-EZ, looks great, except all of the existing projects seem to be links to massive FBO RFPs. hopefully more projects are submitted soon!
