Frequently Asked Questions
I received a lessons learned summary from Brian S. this week, highlighting his expertise in graphics, proposal prep, and the quality of SMA’s team. I will continue to recommend SMA for major proposals.
Steve B., thank you for your fantastic support. Your work has been outstanding. As we get closer to the Final RFP or Draft RFP release, we’ll reach out to re-engage you full-time.
We’d be lost without Mike D.’s skillset and stellar performance. He went above and beyond to help our team succeed, truly embodying teamwork. If I could choose one person for my team in the future, it’s Mike. Thanks to SMA for sending him our way!
I sincerely appreciate Carol M.’s work with our team. With no in-house experience, she was patient, thorough, and deliberate, going back to first principles. I enjoyed the experience and am grateful to both Carol and SMA for their support.
Lee E. has been invaluable in turning our engineering concepts into polished diagrams. He’s been highly responsive in making last-minute changes. We truly appreciate his efforts!
Congratulations to the Program Controls Team of Wendy F., James N., and Erika H., on receiving a client corporate quality control award for their teamwork with monthly SDRL deliveries!
On 6 July 2017, an SMA client hosted an event honoring Steve H.’s 17 years of continuous support to a major program, a record for SMA. The client praised Steve for making a positive impact on all his assignments on the program.
In July, we received a CPAR from our USAF customer with the highest grade of any program supporting USAF efforts in the company, earning Exceptional in 5 out of 7 categories. Elisca S.’s role as PCA was key to this success, as highlighted in the CPAR!
James E. successfully supported the transition to become the singular PCA for a $100M R&D full EV program. His efforts included managing EV deliverables, subcontractor closeout, and collaborating with the customer on IBR criteria. We plan to extend him until March 2021.
We greatly appreciated Jeffrey E.’s exceptional support on our proposal. He went above and beyond, mentoring authors to improve both the product and their processes. Our proposal received high marks during color team reviews, and we couldn’t have done it without him.
Big thanks to Shane T. for his efforts on our project. It’s great to have him back! He handles the challenges, twists, and turns with ease, both with the client and team. His work on project economics—forecasting and tracking—has been exceptional. Glad to have him on the team!
I want to appreciate Brian S. for his professionalism. He effectively handled our proposal inputs, managing changes even within tight 2-hour delivery windows. It’s been a pleasure working with him.
