Finding the Right Solicitation

Finding the right solicitation is the foundational step in the proposal process and is critical to your success in securing government, city, state, or local contracts. This step involves identifying opportunities that align with your business’s strengths and capabilities, requiring in‑depth market research, industry knowledge, and strategic analysis.

We dig through government databases, agency forecasts, and industry trends—ensuring we identify RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs uniquely suited to your strengths and schedule.

Planning & Scope Review

Once a fit is confirmed, we collaborate to define scope, assess compliance, and align project goals. We evaluate Statement of Work, delivery timelines, and teaming opportunities to lay a strong foundation.

Proposal Development & Pricing Guidance

Our team writes persuasive technical narratives, management plans, and past performance statements. We help model price options—cost-plus, fixed-price, or hybrid—so you confidently propose a rate that aligns with your value and the solicitation’s criteria.

Submitting the Proposal

We handle final formatting, portal uploads (eOffer, eBuy, Grants.gov), and binder-ready submissions. We monitor receipt, manage amendment rounds, and ensure full compliance and confirmation on your behalf.

Award Notification & Debrief

We stay involved post-submission—tracking award decisions via FPDS/SAM, coordinating debriefs, analyzing feedback, and capturing learnings. We’ll help onboard compliance and align kickoff steps so you’re ready to deliver from day one.
