A final quality assurance review conducted immediately before proposal submission to verify that the proposal package is complete, compliant, and ready for delivery. A White Team Review focuses on production quality rather than content development, confirming that formatting, page limits, required forms, attachments, graphics, cross-references, and solicitation instructions have been followed. Performed after the Gold Team Review has finalized the proposal content, it is intended to identify and correct last-minute production, compliance, or administrative errors without reopening strategic, technical, or management decisions unless a critical issue is discovered.
