What should I send to get started? +
Start with your contact details. If you have an opportunity, include the solicitation link or number and the submission deadline with its time zone. A capability statement or short company overview helps us understand the fit. We will request the remaining source materials during kickoff.
How long does the proposal process take? +
The schedule depends on the solicitation’s complexity, the required volumes, your available source materials, and the time needed for review and approval. We assess the deadline before accepting the work and agree the milestones with you. Send the opportunity early so there is time to confirm the scope and prepare the response.
Who will write our proposal? +
Your proposal is written by our in-house, 100% U.S.-based team. We do not outsource your writing. With 15+ years of experience and senior involvement, we keep the work connected from the first review through delivery. You share information, review drafts, and communicate with us in FBPONE, your client portal.
Where will I work with your team? +
You work with your team in FBPONE, our client portal. Your bid room keeps the pursuit’s documents, deadlines, input requests, pricing review, and submission instructions together. You can respond to questions, upload supporting files, and message your FBP team from the same workspace.
What does end-to-end support actually include? +
We can manage opportunity review, requirements mapping, proposal writing, pricing support, forms, reviews, submission coordination, agency follow-up, and consulting after award. Your plan and written scope define the specific deliverables, proposal capacity, and level of ongoing support.
Will you help us after we win? +
Yes. Post-award consulting can include kickoff preparation, deliverable tracking, reporting and invoice-documentation guidance, routine contract administration, modification and pricing support, and follow-on planning. We agree the scope and cadence with you; ongoing administration is not automatically included in every proposal plan.
Can you help us work out what to charge? +
Yes. We help organize cost inputs, labor and staffing assumptions, subcontractor quotes, indirect costs, and margin scenarios. We can also prepare pricing schedules, a basis of estimate, and supporting narratives. The depth of analysis depends on the opportunity and engagement; complex pricing is scoped separately, and you approve the final price.
How much work will our team need to do? +
You provide accurate company information, source materials, cost inputs, and access as needed. You also approve business decisions, confirm factual statements, and sign certifications that require an authorized company representative. We manage the writing, coordination, and agreed administrative work around those inputs.
Do you handle forms, notarization, and submission? +
We prepare forms and attachments using your confirmed information, coordinate signatures, and arrange in-house remote online notarization where required and applicable. We coordinate submission by the method specified in the opportunity, including portal, email, or tracked hard copy where scoped. Your authorized representative completes required certifications; we do not attest to company facts on your behalf.
Can you write the complete proposal? +
Yes. We develop complete contract proposals or support selected volumes and sections. Depending on the solicitation and agreed scope, this can include the technical approach, management plan, staffing, past performance, pricing, forms, and attachments.
Which plan fits our company? +
Annual plans support up to one, two, or three standard proposals per month. The 90-Day Plans provide focused support for a three-month period. FBP Private Client offers a tailored annual program with capacity for up to six standard proposals per month. We help align the plan with opportunity complexity, available source material, deadlines, and your consulting needs.
Can you support an urgent deadline? +
We assess the response requirements, time remaining, your available source material, and team capacity before accepting a deadline. Send the opportunity as early as possible. Urgent or unusually complex pursuits may need a separate scope.
Can you start with a contract we already have? +
Yes. You can engage us for post-award consulting without starting a new proposal. Share the contract stage and the work you need help organizing, and we will define a focused engagement.
Do you guarantee an award? +
No. Award decisions belong to the agency or customer. Our work focuses on a well-supported response, careful attention to the stated requirements, and practical guidance throughout the engagement.
