Shawn K.

I bring 15+ years of experience across RFP proposal writing, government bid writing, grant proposals, procurement, bid evaluation, capture support, compliance review, and proposal management. My value is not just writing the response. It is helping clients make better pursuit decisions, avoid preventable scoring issues, and submit stronger, more evaluator-focused proposals. Consultative Proposal Support • RFP response writing, RFQ response writing, RFI response writing, grant writing, government bid writing, and business proposal development • Proposal strategy, capture planning, compliance matrices, proposal outlines, response schedules, and bid/no-bid input • Executive summaries, win themes, technical proposal narratives, management plans, past performance, case studies, and capability statements • Proposal review, gap analysis, red team review support, compliance checks, quality control, and final submission readiness Why Clients Bring Me In I have supported hundreds of RFPs and many awarded proposals across staffing, healthcare, IT, cybersecurity, transportation, education, nonprofit, construction, telecommunications, professional services, and public-sector contracting. I adapt quickly to the buyer, industry, scoring model, and level of complexity. My experience includes federal proposals, state and local government bids, transportation proposals, healthcare proposals, education proposals, nonprofit grants, and public-sector opportunities involving DoD, U.S. Department of Transportation, Amtrak, Chicago Transit Authority, VA Medical Centers, and multiple state and county agencies. Because I have worked inside procurement and bid evaluation as well as proposal development, I understand how evaluators compare vendors, test compliance, assess risk, and score written responses. I use that perspective to help clients produce proposals that are easier to evaluate and harder to dismiss. Let’s Strengthen Your Pursuit Send me the RFP, RFQ, RFI, grant opportunity, bid link, or project details. I’ll review, flag key risks, and recommend a practical path to a compliant, persuasive, submission-ready proposal that reflects the value of your organization.
