Government Contracting, Capture & Proposal Specialist helping small and mid-sized businesses identify, qualify, pursue, and respond to federal, state, and local contract opportunities. I have contributed to $30M+ in government contract awards across 100+ engagements, supporting opportunity research, capture management, solicitation analysis, proposal development, compliance, and submission readiness. I assess whether an opportunity is worth pursuing, what the solicitation requires, where the risks are, how your company should position itself, and what needs to happen to submit a complete response on time. I do not simply send bid links or fill templates with generic language. My work is built around the solicitation, evaluation criteria, SOW/PWS requirements, your capabilities, past performance, and how you will realistically perform the contract.

INDUSTRIES I HAVE SUPPORTED IT & Cybersecurity | Construction | Janitorial & Facility Maintenance | Logistics & Transportation | NEMT | Healthcare & Staffing | Professional Services | Government Support Services COMPLIANT IS NOT THE SAME AS COMPETITIVE A compliant proposal follows the instructions. A competitive proposal makes it easy for the evaluator to understand why your approach is credible, how you will perform, reduce risk, and why your company is a stronger fit. No proposal writer or capture specialist can honestly guarantee an award. If I identify an eligibility problem, past-performance gap, mandatory requirement, compliance risk, or weak opportunity fit, I will tell you before you invest unnecessary time and resources. Have an active RFP, RFQ, RFI, IFB, Sources Sought notice, or government contracting opportunity? Send me the solicitation number, agency, deadline, set-aside status, and anything you have prepared. I can help determine whether the opportunity is worth pursuing, what is missing, and what needs to happen next.
