Frequently asked questions
Proposal work gets confusing quickly. These are the questions small govcon teams commonly need answered before they decide what kind of support is useful.
The standard package includes bid/no-bid support, compliance mapping, win strategy and themes, technical and management volume support, color team reviews, final production support, and pricing guidance.
We help teams understand the opportunity, sharpen their competitive position, and produce a more disciplined response. Award decisions remain with the government customer and depend on factors outside any consultant’s control, so no consultant can guarantee an award or probability of win.
Yes, when the timing and scope are workable. Start with the public opportunity details, due date, general scope, and the specific help you need so we can assess the situation.
Capture planning can be a separate service. The standard proposal package focuses on the active bid and the strategy and production work required to respond well.
Not in the first standard package. We can provide pricing guidance, but complex pricing model development, full pricing narrative ownership, and past-performance development require separate scope.
Yes. We work with certification-backed small businesses on proposal positioning and response development. We do not provide official certification, legal, or eligibility determinations.
Often, yes, when the solicitation permits relevant private-sector work or broader experience. Key-person and subcontractor experience may also matter when the evaluation allows it. We can identify usable proof and gaps, but full past-performance development remains a separate scope and the solicitation controls.
Yes. We can organize provided subcontractor inputs, clarify team roles, and build a unified technical and management response around the solicitation. We do not broker subcontractors or make legal eligibility determinations.
No. When applicable, the FAR may require additional cost and added-value disclosures above that level. Excessive pass-through concerns depend on the clauses, charges, and value the prime provides. Set-aside limitations on subcontracting are a separate requirement, so the solicitation and qualified advisors should be consulted.
Use the agency or customer, opportunity name or public link, due date, general scope, your role, certification status, and the support you need. Keep protected information out of the public intake.
We review the public details for fit, timing, and likely scope. The next useful step may be an opportunity check, a strategy or proposal discussion, a lighter advisory path, or an early no-bid recommendation.
Do not send classified information, CUI, export-controlled information, source selection information, proprietary third-party data, or other protected material without an approved secure channel and handling agreement.

Public facts and a high-level question are enough for a sensible first conversation.
