Work Hard Up Front: It Pays Off
• Work to leave the door open for more follow-on’s
• Look for options to repurpose content in the future
• Consider growth opportunities past this one project
• Avoid turning this into a
“one hit wonder”

Master Services Agreements Provide Value
• Also called a Collaboration Agreement
• This creates structure to generate Task Orders
• Creates a plan/environment for on-going/future
tasks/project work, instead of a single contract
• Makes it easier to add work later
• Yes it is more work up front, but worth the time
• Caveat: some grants/awards/etc can’t support
