Josephine N.
Government Proposal Writer | RFP, RFQ & Tender Bids | Grant Writing
Government proposal writer and RFP response specialist helping small businesses find, bid on and win federal, state, local and international contracts. I write compliant RFP, RFQ, IFB and tender responses, capability statements and grant applications, and I research bid opportunities on SAM.gov and state procurement portals. Over the past two years I've helped clients win three government contracts, including a small business's first-ever award. I've supported bids and tenders in the US, UK, Germany and Australia, and I've written NSF grant proposals for technology companies. WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Josephine is honestly amazing! I was genuinely impressed by the quality of her government contract research." "Josephine did an excellent job with the tender research. She quickly understood what we were looking for." GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING ISN'T ABOUT LUCK. IT'S ABOUT STRATEGY, COMPLIANCE AND EXECUTION. Every solicitation has its own instructions, evaluation criteria and compliance rules, and missing one requirement can disqualify an otherwise strong bid. I read the full solicitation package first, including Section L instructions and Section M evaluation factors, build a compliance matrix, and then write a response around exactly what the evaluators will score.
