Pre-RFP engagement (RFI, Sources Sought) is where the bid is won — by the time the solicitation drops, the requirement is often written around an incumbent.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\n=== PRE-FLIGHT ===</h1>\n<p>Verify:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><input disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"checkbox\"> <strong>NAICS codes</strong>: at minimum primary code; ideally a full list (most companies are credible across 3-8 NAICS). Incomplete NAICS limits which opportunities surface.</li>\n<li><input disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"checkbox\"> <strong>PSC codes</strong>: Product Service Codes — narrower than NAICS, helps eliminate noise.</li>\n<li><input disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"checkbox\"> <strong>Set-aside status</strong>: small business, 8(a), WOSB / EDWOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, none. If certified, restrict searches; if not, expand.</li>\n<li><input disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"checkbox\"> <strong>Geographic preferences</strong>: any place-of-performance restrictions?</li>\n<li><input disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"checkbox\"> <strong>Capacity</strong>: what's your annual capture bandwidth (number of proposals you can credibly write)?
