Government Proposal Writing Services: Bid-Ready in 10 Days
A complete proposal practice for small and mid size firms pursuing federal, state and local contracts in any of the 50 states. One flat fee, published here. A free bid or no-bid memo before any fee is discussed.
The market
The opportunity is national, and it is published every business day.
Federal, state and local agencies publish solicitations continuously. The firms that win work are usually not the largest. They are the ones that respond on time, in full compliance, with a credible narrative.
Small business share of federal contract spending, FY2024: about 23 percent. Source: U.S. Small Business Administration FY2024 procurement reporting. This is market data describing the size of the opportunity. It is not a record of this firm's results.
State and local opportunities are published every business day on top of the federal market, across all 50 state portals and thousands of local agency sites. Our Research and Opportunity Desk works from SAM.gov and the official state portals, so a client's pipeline is never limited to one state or one level of government.
Deliverables
What the client receives, in full.
Bid or No-Bid Memo
Delivered free, before engagement. Fit assessment, competitive read, compliance risk and a clear recommendation with reasons the client can verify against the solicitation itself.
Compliance Matrix
Every instruction, evaluation factor, required form and submission rule in the solicitation, mapped to a proposal section, an owner and a page. The matrix governs the entire engagement.
Complete Proposal Draft
Technical approach, management approach, staffing and past performance narratives written from the client's own facts, structured against the evaluation criteria in the order evaluators score them.
Two Stage Review Record
A drafting review for substance and evidence, followed by a second stage compliance review (separate from the drafting pass) against the matrix. Each checkpoint on the compliance matrix is cleared and recorded before submission.
Submission Package
Final files formatted to portal rules, named correctly, with page limits and file types verified. The client receives the complete submission record and checklist.
Debrief Note
After submission, a short written record of what was submitted, when, and through which portal, held with the engagement file for the client's own audit trail.
Timeline, day by day
Ten business days, stage by stage.
Day 1: Scan and intake
The Capture and Proposal Desk reads the full solicitation, all amendments and attachments, and confirms the deadline, portal and submission rules.
Day 1 to 2: Scoring
The opportunity is scored on eligibility, capability fit, past performance match, competitive position, price position and time available.
Day 2: Bid or No-Bid Memo
The client receives the free memo. If the recommendation is bid and the client proceeds, the engagement letter is issued the same day.
Day 3: Compliance matrix and outline
The matrix is built, the proposal outline is set against the evaluation criteria, and document requests go to the client in one list.
Day 4 to 7: Drafting
Narratives are drafted from client facts. Client Delivery holds one structured review call in this window, so questions are resolved in days, not at the deadline.
Day 8 to 9: Two stage review
Drafting review for substance first. Then Compliance Review checks the full draft against the matrix, page limits, forms and file rules, independently of the drafting pass.
Day 10: Submission
The package is submitted through the correct portal, confirmed, and the submission record is delivered to the client.
Pricing, published
The price on this page is the price in the engagement letter. If the scope of a solicitation is materially larger than standard, the firm says so in the free memo, before any commitment, and states the fee then.
What the client provides
- The solicitation link, or the agency and deadline if the link is not to hand
- SAM.gov registration status, and state portal registration where applicable
- Company facts: legal name, structure, certifications, insurance and bonding where relevant
- Key staff details and the past performance the client wants put forward
- Pricing inputs. The firm structures the price volume presentation, but the client's prices are the client's decision
- One decision maker available for the mid engagement review call
Exclusions, stated plainly
- No win guarantees. Awards are decided by agency evaluators. The firm guarantees process and delivery standards, never outcomes
- No percentage of award fees, under any structure
- No invented content. The firm will not fabricate past performance, staff, certifications or references
- No legal advice. Protests, eligibility disputes and contract law questions belong to the client's attorney
- No rushed exceptions. If a deadline cannot be met to standard, the memo will recommend no bid

Your flat fee
With 300 past enquiries, even a small reply rate creates real conversations. You pay the $75 only when an appointment is kept, not when a message is sent.
Published pricing
The price shown here is the price in the engagement letter. Flat fee, split 50 and 50, balance tied to submission.
Compliance before style
A polished proposal that misses one required form scores zero. The matrix comes before the narrative, every time.
An honest no is valuable
Saying no to a bad fit bid saves the fee and the fortnight. The free memo is built to give that answer early.
