Beyond the Bid. Grow your Tier 2 suppliers. Keep the master SOW lean; put ops detail in a short Tier-2 Exhibit. Set outcomes (quality, OTIF, response), stabilize operations (change control, traceability), secure data, keep audit visibility, align commercials. Faster onboarding, cleaner QBRs.

Thank you for showing up all year long.

📊 Beyond the Bid: Nearshoring = faster lead times, lower safety stock, clearer quality. Invest in local suppliers to build agility and resilience. Use a two-source model (regional + global) with switch-over steps. Ohio jobs + stronger chains.

As programs are dismantled, it gets harder for minority-owned businesses to get in the room and get a seat at the table. OMSDC advocates for Ohio businesses in our community, so they’re seen and considered. Your gift keeps our advocacy active.

Beyond the Bid. 30-minute competitor pulse: 1) Define the question. 2) Check official sources (sites, specs, warranty, lead times, price bands). 3) Scan demand signals (LinkedIn, press, reviews). 4) Benchmark 3 rivals + your supplier on features, delivery, service, promos. Act and repeat monthly.
