What is an RFP shred?
An RFP shred is the process of breaking a solicitation into the instructions, requirements, evaluation criteria, deadlines, risks, and artifacts a proposal team must manage.
Why proposal teams shred an RFP
Federal RFPs are dense. A shred gives proposal managers, capture leads, writers, and SMEs a shared view of what must be answered, when it is due, and how the response will be evaluated.
What should be included
A useful shred captures submission instructions, Section L requirements, Section M evaluation factors, PWS or SOW obligations, attachments, forms, page limits, deadlines, and risk flags.
