Liz C. exceeded expectations and greatly enhanced our proposal. We couldn’t have done it without her! She worked well with the team, boosting collaboration, and the final product had a level of professionalism and detail that wouldn’t have been possible without her.
Elisca S. joined in April/May 2020 and has done an outstanding job. Our CPAR rating from the US Air Force improved from Satisfactory to Very Good, thanks to her dedication. She always goes above and beyond. I enjoy working with her and look forward to future projects together.
The ability to add consultants is really paying off. Mike D. is an excellent EV analyst who took charge of the program and is doing a fantastic job. He’s been a breath of fresh air for me on the program.
Brian S. and Robert D. did a great job getting us to the finish line! Brian worked long days and was a key contributor to our electronic and print submission success. Thank you for SMA’s support on this bid!”

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.
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.
Elisca S. has done an outstanding job, particularly with one of our toughest programs on the CEO’s watchlist. She’s a top planner, trusted to oversee training and provide backup support. Her contributions have helped several programs get back on track—she’s a credit to SMA’s excellence!
