Proposal support for small government contractors

We support small businesses pursuing federal, state and local government contracting opportunities — helping you identify suitable opportunities, analyze RFPs and RFQs, understand compliance requirements, develop competitive proposals and prepare complete submissions.

Who we work with

Small businesses pursuing federal, state and local government contracts — owners, business development leads and proposal managers.

Our approach

We work alongside your team from the bid/no-bid decision to final submission, helping you respond to every requirement clearly, completely and on time.

How you can work with us

You can receive end-to-end support or assistance with only the specific stages where you need help.

  • End-to-end support

    We work with you from opportunity research and the bid/no-bid assessment through RFP/RFQ analysis, compliance, proposal development, pricing and final submission.

  • Support for specific stages

    Bring us in where you need help most — for example opportunity research, a bid/no-bid assessment, RFP/RFQ analysis, compliance review, proposal development, pricing documentation or submission.

How we help

Support from solicitation to submission

  • Opportunity research

    Finding federal, state and local government contracts and procurement opportunities that match your capabilities and growth goals.

  • Bid/no-bid assessment

    Weighing each opportunity's requirements, competition and fit against your capacity so you can decide whether to pursue it.

  • RFP and RFQ analysis

    Breaking down requirements, instructions and evaluation criteria so your response addresses exactly what the agency asks for.

  • Compliance requirements

    Clarifying registrations, set-aside eligibility, required certifications and contract clauses, and building a compliance matrix.

  • Proposal development

    Developing technical approaches, management plans, past performance narratives and capability statements.

  • Pricing and supporting documentation

    Helping you organize pricing volumes, required forms, representations and certifications.

  • Compliance review and quality assurance

    Checking every volume against the solicitation's instructions, formatting rules and page limits.

  • Submission and post-submission support

    Assembling the final package, tracking amendments and deadlines, and — where applicable — supporting clarifications and debriefs.
