Government Proposal Writing and Preparation

I write compliant, evaluator-focused proposals for small businesses responding to federal, state, and local solicitations. If the requirements feel overwhelming or your team does not have time to write, I turn your company’s information into a clear, well-organized submission.

Deadline approaching? Urgent requests are welcome. Share the solicitation and due date so I can assess what is feasible. Email an urgent request

Who this is for

This is for business owners who have found a solicitation they want to pursue and need a proposal that answers every requirement and is easy for evaluators to score. It also suits companies that have written proposals before and want an experienced writer to take the load.

What you receive

  • Technical approach volume
  • Management plan
  • Past performance documentation
  • Pricing narrative and schedule
  • Compliance matrix
  • Representations and certifications
  • Final pre-submission compliance review
  • Submission support

The exact set of documents depends on what the solicitation requires.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send the solicitation

    Share the solicitation, the due date, and what you already have ready.

  2. 2

    I review it

    I read the instructions and evaluation criteria and tell you what a strong response will take.

  3. 3

    We confirm the scope

    You get the scope, fee, and delivery schedule before any writing begins.

  4. 4

    I write and review

    I draft each volume against the evaluation criteria, check compliance, and refine it with your feedback before submission.

What I need from you

  • Accurate company information, including history, capabilities, and certifications
  • Past performance details and references
  • Staffing, equipment, and operational commitments you can stand behind
  • Pricing inputs such as labor rates, costs, and margins
  • Your review and final approval before anything is submitted

I write the proposal. You remain responsible for the accuracy of the information and for the commitments the proposal makes.

Timing

Proposal timelines depend on the solicitation’s requirements, complexity, submission deadline, and how much information your company has ready. I review these details before confirming the scope and delivery schedule.

If your deadline is approaching, reach out now. Short turnaround requests are considered based on availability and the work required. I’ll confirm whether I can support your submission before you commit.

    Common questions

    Can you write the whole proposal?

    Yes, where the solicitation allows it. I can write each volume, build the compliance matrix, and support submission. You provide the company facts and pricing inputs, and you approve the final version.

    What if my deadline is close?

    Reach out now and share the solicitation and due date. Short turnaround requests are considered based on availability and the work required, and I will tell you whether I can support your submission before you commit.

    Do you guarantee we will win?

    No. Nobody can promise an award. My focus is a compliant, clear proposal that makes it easy for evaluators to see why your company is a good choice.

    What do you need to get started?

    The solicitation and the due date. If you have a past proposal, a capability statement, or company information on hand, send those too.

    How is the fee set?

    The fee depends on the size and complexity of the solicitation. I confirm the scope and fee with you before work begins.

    Is there a charge to talk first?

    If our first conversation is enough, there is no charge.
