Frequently asked questions

Answers before the first call.

Proposal work gets confusing quickly. These are the questions small govcon teams commonly need answered before they decide what kind of support is useful.

What kinds of proposal support do you provide?

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.

Do you guarantee an award or a particular probability of win?

No. 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.

Can you help with an RFP that is already live?

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.

Do you handle capture planning?

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.

Do you develop past performance or full pricing narratives?

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.

Can you help 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB firms?

Yes. We work with certification-backed small businesses on proposal positioning and response development. We do not provide official certification, legal, or eligibility determinations.

What should we send in the first email?

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 first email.

What information should not be sent by ordinary email?

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.
