Proposal Writing & Development
Specialize in helping small businesses navigate the complexities of proposal writing for government contracts. I can assist you in developing compelling, compliant, and competitive proposals that clearly articulate your value proposition, address solicitation requirements, and align with the needs of the federal agency. From understanding proposal instructions and evaluation criteria to crafting winning technical narratives and pricing strategies, I ensure your proposal is strategically positioned for success. My expertise in federal procurement and FAR compliance helps avoid common pitfalls and increases your chances of securing lucrative government contracts.
Proposal Review and Compliance Check
We provide comprehensive proposal review services to ensure your submission is fully compliant with the solicitation requirements and aligned with best practices for federal contracting. Our review process includes a detailed examination of all proposal sections, such as the technical approach, management plan, staffing, past performance, and cost/price strategy. We ensure each section addresses the evaluation criteria set by the agency and highlights your strengths effectively.
Additionally, we conduct compliance checks against the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and other applicable regulations to ensure your proposal meets all legal and contractual standards. This includes verifying adherence to formatting requirements, addressing every section of the Statement of Work (SOW) and/or Performance Work Statement (PWS), and ensuring responsiveness to all sections of the Request for Proposal (RFP). By offering a detailed gap analysis and actionable recommendations, we help eliminate potential weaknesses or compliance issues that could disqualify your bid, ultimately increasing your chances of a successful award.
Identify Opportunites at the Right Time
It is important for your business to identify government opportunities before the solicitation is released by leveraging my expertise in market research and federal contracting strategies, this is where so many companies get this wrong. Through proactive engagement, I monitor government spending trends, track agency procurement forecasts, and analyze upcoming projects outlined in agency acquisition plans and long-term budgets. By building relationships with contracting officers and attending industry days, I gain early insights into agency needs, allowing us to position your business ahead of the competition. This approach enables us to shape opportunities, influence requirements, and prepare your business to respond quickly and effectively when the solicitation is finally issued.

We provide regular updates and reports, enabling you to track your progress, prioritize leads, and allocate resources effectively. Additionally, we leverage CRM tools and federal databases, such as SAM.gov and FPDS, to maintain an organized and up-to-date pipeline, making it easier for your team to make informed decisions, forecast revenue, and identify future growth areas.

This includes crafting a document that effectively showcases your company’s core competencies, past performance, and unique value proposition. I will ensure your capability statement is structured to include your Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), NAICS codes, and relevant contract vehicles, eliminating outdated information such as the DUNS number, to maintain compliance with current government standards.
Additionally, I tailor the statement to highlight your key differentiators and align your capabilities with the specific needs and priorities of targeted federal agencies. By presenting a clear and concise overview of your qualifications, certifications, and experience, I help position your business as a credible partner, increasing your visibility and chances of securing federal contracts.
