What qualifies my business as a “large, well-established” contractor?

FEDCON’s large business services are designed for firms with a DSBS profile, Capability Statement, and demonstrable past performance bidding on federal or state contracts. If you're actively pursuing complex vehicles like GWACs, MATOCs, or large IDIQs, this package is built for you.

What is included in the Premium Quarterly Proposal Development Package?

Each quarterly package includes:

How does the point-based complexity model work?

We score each opportunity using our proprietary Bid Complexity Tool, which assigns point values based on compliance, strategy, volume, and agency requirements. Higher complexity means more hours and resources. Your package includes a quarterly points allocation that flexes to match your pipeline needs.

Can I swap solicited proposals for unsolicited ones, or vice versa?

Yes. We allow strategic swaps within your point allocation. If your pipeline shifts, we’ll adjust your deliverables to keep your quarter productive.

Do you support urgent or last-minute turnarounds?

We do support urgent bids on a case-by-case basis, depending on resource availability and complexity. Expedited turnarounds may use more points or incur a premium rate. Contact us early for best results.

How are Shipley/APMP standards used in your proposals?

Our entire proposal workflow is grounded in Shipley Methodology and APMP best practices. This ensures every submission is not only compliant, but also persuasive and scored to win.

What types of proposals do you typically support?

We regularly support proposals for:

- GWACs (e.g., CIO-SP4, Polaris)

- IDIQs & MATOCs

- SBIR/STTR

- 8(a), SDVOSB, and HUBZone set-asides

-Complex state solicitations and multi-agency buys

Can I select which agencies or opportunities to target?

Absolutely. We shape every engagement around your goals. You’ll have input on each target, and our team performs additional agency research to maximize win probability.

How does the kickoff session work, and who should attend?

Kickoff sessions are collaborative strategy calls that involve your internal stakeholders and our lead proposal manager. We review the opportunity, confirm compliance needs, and define your win themes and differentiators.

What do the RED and GOLD Team reviews include?

RED Team: Reviews for structure, compliance, and alignment with solicitation.

GOLD Team: Final polish for persuasiveness, narrative flow, and executive readiness.

Each review round includes annotated feedback and revision cycles.

What is included in a Post-Award Debrief?

We analyze agency feedback, extract scoring insights, and provide a lessons-learned briefing. This ensures each proposal—win or lose—improves your future submissions.

How do I get started or request a quote?

Call us at 855-233-3266. We'll review your pipeline, complexity profile, and goals before presenting a custom package.

Are your bid writers U.S.-based or overseas?

Our core proposal team—including strategy leads, compliance reviewers, and writers—is 100% U.S.-based and Shipley/APMP certified. We do not outsource compliance-critical tasks.

Can you help us shape the market and influence future RFPs?

Yes. We conduct pre-solicitation agency engagement, capability briefings, and market shaping strategies to position your firm for future wins—even before the RFP drops.

How do I know if my opportunity is “Very Low” or “Very High” complexity?

We provide a free initial assessment using our Bid Complexity Tool. This includes estimated hours, compliance burden, strategic difficulty, and your likely point usage.

What if I don’t use all my points during a quarter? Do they roll over?

Unused points may roll over into the next quarter depending on your agreement tier. We also offer flexible credit policies for clients on annual plans.

Can you work with subcontractors or joint ventures?

Yes. We support JVs, mentor-protégé arrangements, and large primes with multiple teaming partners. We’ll help you position the entire team strategically.

Do you assist with proposal portal submissions (e.g., SAM.gov, PIEE)?

Yes. We handle full formatting, portal packaging, and technical submission support through SAM.gov, PIEE, eMACS, or other relevant platforms as needed.
