RWCO “Industry Barometer” Survey Shows 30% Win Rate is “New Normal”

for Federal Contractors

Survey findings and analysis are presented within RWCO industry-wide survey, entitled “RWCO’s
Public Sector Procurement Barometer 2019.” This research examines industry trends, best
practices, assumptions and market factors within the public sector. It provides public-sector
contractors with reliable benchmarking data from which to assess their individual performance
against their peers.

Leesburg, VA, February 19, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Richard Wagner and Company (RWCO), a business
strategy, business development, and proposal consulting firm based in the Washington D.C. metropolitan
area is pleased to announce the release of its annual survey of over 30,000 companies engaged in
Government contracts. Survey findings and analysis are presented within RWCO industry-wide survey,
entitled “RWCO's Public Sector Procurement Barometer 2019.” This research examines industry trends,
best practices, assumptions and market factors within the public sector. It provides public-sector
contractors with reliable benchmarking data from which to assess their individual performance against
their peers.

RWCO findings include:

* More than 55% of respondents find that non-price factors, such as technical solution, key personnel,
and past performance, drive the award decision.

* Information Technology and Professional Services organizations operating in the Federal contract arena
enjoyed an anticipated win rate of nearly 50%. While surprisingly, more than half of all respondents
within the defense sector wrestled with win rates below 25%.

* Survey of executives across various industrial sectors found that 7 out of 10 Federal contractors
experience a bid success rate of 30% or less. For context, a simple web search of industry chatter on “win
rates” suggests the historical benchmark for acceptable performance is about 45%. This demonstrates a
significant gap between the competitive bid realities for public sector contractors in the past decade when
compared to historical metrics of success.

“This Barometer provides organizations with a sanity check of their performance across both their core
industry and other industrial sectors within the Federal domain, thereby serving as a reference point for
strategic planning, resource allocation, and the optimization of business development processes,” said
RWCO Chief Executive Officer Richard Wagner.

“If the win rate does not reflect above average success rates, organizations will have difficulty remaining
viable for the long-term,” Mr. Wagner said. “Having some clarity on what is “average” within the context
of winning and losing puts the onus of working smarter rather than burning resources through a struggling
business development and proposal process.”
