Proposal Management
Some companies need help getting through the often-complicated government contracting process. That’s where we come in. Late submittal of a government proposal is not an option. We will help guide your company through the proposal process by creating an easy to follow timeline for when certain milestones should be completed. We can work one on one with your team or proposal lead to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Proposal Writing
We will work with you and your team to create a proposal that is captivating, both visually and verbally, as well as ensuring we convey to your customer exactly why your company can and will provide the best option for their needs. Our staff has over 40 plus years combined experience with managing the proposal process and developing proposals for all types of government solicitations. Being prior government contracting officers and specialists gives us an edge on understanding what the government selection team is looking for.
We specialize in working with subject mater experts to compile their information to create a compliant proposal. We can also help with writing or updating resumes, past performance documents, along with technical and staffing management plans. We can provide the following:
• Identify information needed to draft each section from a completed outline
• Interview subject matter experts to obtain required, in-depth information
• Review existing material for use in a proposal section
• Organize topics as needed for each volume
• Ensure helpful graphics are included to help tell your “story”
• Incorporate review comments while updating or improving sections
• Compare drafts with related sections to ensure consistency
• Ensure work incorporates proposal’s strategies, and technical/management features and benefits
• Review all terms, conditions and clauses to ensure that your company knows and understands the contractual requirements.
We work hard to become a seamless extension of your company. We can help from start to finish. It’s truly a team effort to get the job done.
Proposal Editing
Our team can work with you to ensure that there is continuity throughout your proposal. Nothing is more confusing for a source selection team than a proposal that is all over the place in terms of content. We can:
• Review all content for spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Work with your current proposal team to offer suggestions on development or expanding ideas
• Suggest revisions and edits that will make your ideas clear. No one knows your solution better than you do but sometimes it’s hard to convey because of that very reason.
Continued Contract Support
So, you’ve won the contract, now what? We can provide continued contract management support including task order management, negotiation support, full contract administration, modification review and management, clause interpretation, contract close out.
