Project: KITSS and Visual Concepts jointly executed a Dept of Defense (DOD) contract which involved the design and implementation of a Web application, consisting of an Arabic and English language online Bid Posting / Proposal Receipt system. This system supports a bid post / proposal submission for Iraqi vendors that will help to increase their awareness and access to reconstruction opportunities. In current Iraq reconstruction efforts, many contracts are awarded to non-Iraqi firms exacerbating tribal/sectarian frustration. The current objective of the Rebuild Iraq Initiative is to increase the number of opportunities available and awarded to Iraqi firms, through this WEB portal.
