Martin, Blanck & Associates provides critical assistance to firms interested in pursuing business opportunities in the federal, state and non-profit sectors -- with particular expertise in federal health systems.  We provide health care policy and program development, management, informatics and strategic planning advice, training management, and health care studies and analytical support to local, national and international organizations in both the public and private sectors.

We provide assistance throughout the acquisition life-cycle, including:

• Strategic Acquisition Planning—we assist our clients in identifying product features, target markets, and business development strategy. This includes analyses of the potential customers and the competition. We don't work on any business-- we will tell you early in the process if there is a chance for success. And then we engage to win. We'll help you meet with customers to introduce your products or services, and we'll assist in identifying important milestones to take a business concept to a delivered product or service.
  
  
• Responding to Requests for Proposal (RFP)-- we have a proven track record in helping large and small firms compete for business in the federal sector. We can manage the entire response, or key subcomponents of an RFP release:
  
  
  • Written Proposals
  • Oral Presentations and Coaching
  • Critical Review / Red Team Participation and Consultant Support
  • Production and Delivery
    
    
• Ongoing Customer Support – we help new competitors and  incumbents sustain a close relationship with customers and remain aware of new opportunities or competitive threats. We help our clients with ongoing intelligence and monitoring. We also offer subcontracted program management services to provide you with direct support-- and serve as part of your team.
