Are you looking for a US government proposal writer and procurement specialist - someone who can research opportunities, analyze complex RFPs, identify compliance gaps, strengthen your response, and help prepare a submission-ready bid? I help businesses identify, qualify, and pursue U.S. government contracts and manage the proposal process from solicitation review through submission. I work across the full RFP/RFQ/IFB/ RFI lifecycle: opportunity research, Go/No-Go assessment, requirement analysis, compliance matrices, proposal development, SME coordination, pricing coordination, final review, and submission management. My experience spans Federal, State and Local/SLED procurement, including SAM.gov, GSA/eBuy, BidNet, eVA, Bonfire, Govtribe and other procurement platforms. With 8+ years of government bid and proposal support experience, I understand how to turn complex solicitation requirements into structured, persuasive, evaluator-focused responses. ### GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL & BID MANAGEMENT - **RFP/RFQ/RFI/IFB Analysis:** Requirements extraction, eligibility checks, evaluation criteria, mandatory forms, and submission instructions. - **Compliance Matrices:** Requirement mapping, response outlines, compliance checklists, and gap identification. - **Technical Proposal Writing:** Executive summaries, technical approaches, methodologies, management plans, staffing, quality assurance, risk management, and past performance. - **Proposal Review & Improvement:** Strategic revisions, content strengthening, consistency checks, and final compliance reviews. - **Opportunity Research & Qualification:** Bid searches, Go/No-Go assessments, NAICS/PSC codes, set-asides, deadlines, incumbent research, and opportunity tracking. - **Submission Coordination:** SME coordination, supporting documents, pricing coordination, amendment tracking, schedules, and final submission packages. - **Capture & Pre-RFP Research:** Procurement forecasts, Sources Sought, RFIs, upcoming projects, contract history, and potential prime-contractor opportunities. ### IT & CYBERSECURITY PROPOSALS I support proposals involving: - Managed IT Services (MSP), IT support, cloud, infrastructure, and Microsoft 365 - Cybersecurity, SOC/SOC 2, NIST, GRC, risk management, and data security - Gap analysis, compliance assessments, backup/disaster recovery, and IT modernization - Software development, AI solutions, systems integration, and technology consulting I can help translate technical inputs from engineering, cybersecurity, and management teams into clear, requirement-aligned proposal narratives. ### OTHER INDUSTRIES & TENDER EXPERIENCE My bid and proposal work also covers: - **Construction & Facilities:** Building construction, refurbishment, facilities management, janitorial/custodial, and physical security. - **Food Services:** Food distribution, catering, meal delivery, and institutional food-service opportunities. - **Healthcare & Human Services:** Healthcare, mental and behavioral health, NEMT, and transportation services. - *Additional sectors:** Translation and interpretation, education, workforce development, and professional services. - **Australian Tenders:** Experience as a Bid Writer for a renowned Australian construction company, alongside U.S. government construction proposal work. ### GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT PLATFORMS **Federal:** SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, GovWin IQ, GovTribe, USAspending.gov, FPDS resources, and agency procurement portals. **State & Local:** eVA, BidNet Direct, BidPrime, Public Purchase, Bonfire, DemandStar, and state/local procurement portals. **Grants & Other Procurement:** Grants.gov, Ariba, and relevant agency-specific systems. I use procurement platforms and original solicitation documents to research opportunities, review award histories, identify incumbents, assess eligibility, and organize findings into actionable bid trackers. ### MY APPROACH I don't treat an RFP as simply a document to write. I review the scope, mandatory requirements, evaluation criteria, company capabilities, supporting evidence, compliance risks, and submission instructions as one complete bid strategy. I use AI tools to support research and drafting where appropriate, while independently checking requirements, facts, and response content against source documents. I work with your existing templates and content libraries, coordinate with subject-matter experts, flag missing information early, and help keep the response accurate, consistent, and submission-ready. ### HOW I WORK I give honest, practical advice-including a no-bid recommendation when an opportunity isn’t worth pursuing. Winning government contracts depends on more than proposal writing. Pricing, past performance, technical capability, compliance, and eligibility all matter. My focus is to assess opportunities realistically and deliver compliant, competitive, on-time proposals. I work best with businesses building a sustainable Federal or SLED pipeline-not chasing every solicitation.
