2. Analyze the primary way(s) in which a multiyear contract would benefit both the Navy and your business.

4. Determine the category of incentives that you are willing to offer (i.e., cost, schedule, or performance). Provide a rationale for your response.


5. Determine whether your bid proposal should be a technical, management, or cost proposal. Provide a rationale for your response.
