Sample proposal excerpt

SAMPLE WORK PRODUCT. Everything on this page was created by Winwright Partners for a fictional solicitation, to show the format and standard of a Bid-Ready engagement. It is not a client deliverable. No client, agency or contract described here is real.

Sample, fictional solicitation

Compliance matrix excerpt: janitorial services, RFP 26-114 (fictional)

In a live engagement, every requirement in the solicitation becomes one line in this matrix, with an owner and a page. The draft is then checked against the matrix in a second stage review, separate from the drafting pass.

Requirement: three past performance summaries, last five years (Section 4.5)Proposal Vol. 1, Sec. 4, p. 11
Requirement: insurance certificates at stated limits (Section 5.1)Proposal Vol. 2, Appendix B

Sample narrative

Proposal narrative excerpt (sample)

"Our transition plan runs in the first ten business days after award. The account supervisor named in Section 2 walks every facility with the contracting officer's representative, confirms cleaning frequencies against Attachment 1, and signs off a room by room checklist before the first scheduled service. Any gap found in that walk is corrected within 24 hours and logged in the monthly report."

"Quality control is a named function, not a promise. The supervisor named in Section 2 inspects two facilities each week on a rotating schedule, scores them against the checklist in Appendix C, and files the scores with the monthly report. A score below the threshold in Section 5.3 triggers a corrective visit within two business days, at no added cost to the agency."

How to read this sample: each claim in the narrative traces to a line in the compliance matrix above, and each matrix line traces to a page in the proposal. That trace is the standard a Winwright engagement is delivered to.
