Michael A.
Government Proposal Manager | RFP/RFQ Compliance & Capture Support
I help small and mid-sized contractors qualify government opportunities and submit organized, compliant RFP/RFQ responses. You get solicitation analysis, compliance matrices, proposal coordination, document QA, and a clear path from requirements to submission. My work is built around the parts of GovCon responses that create the most risk: understanding what the solicitation actually requires, deciding whether the opportunity is worth pursuing, assigning every requirement to an owner, controlling source material and revisions, and checking the final package before submission. I can support you with: • Federal, state, and local RFP, RFQ, and RFI review • Bid/no-bid qualification and opportunity research • Requirements extraction and compliance matrices • Proposal outlines, responsibility matrices, and milestone calendars • Capability statements and source-sought response support • Technical, management, past-performance, and corporate-experience sections based on client-approved facts • SME follow-up, content requests, and version control • Cross-reference, page-limit, file-naming, hyperlink, attachment, and submission-readiness QA • Reusable proposal content libraries and proposal trackers for recurring bids My process is evidence-led and practical. I make mandatory requirements, missing inputs, assumptions, risks, and deadlines visible. I do not invent technical capabilities, pricing data, past performance, certifications, or contract wins. I route facts to the responsible client subject-matter experts and keep the response moving toward a controlled final package. Clients typically engage me for one of three outcomes: 6. **A qualified opportunity decision:** what the solicitation requires, where the fit is strong or weak, what evidence is missing, and whether to pursue. 7. **A response-readiness system:** compliance matrix, response plan, owners, milestones, source-material gap list, and review gates. 8. **Managed proposal support:** recurring opportunity review, response coordination, content-library upkeep, status reporting, and final QA. I am Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score and a 5.0 public rating. My Upwork portfolio includes government bid and proposal work for cleaning and service businesses. Confidential client information remains confidential; portfolio samples are shared only when permitted. If you have a live solicitation, send the solicitation link or files, submission deadline, contract type or agency if known, expected deliverables, available company materials, and the person who will approve technical and pricing facts. I can begin with a bounded qualification review or response-readiness sprint.
