Fractional Proposal Strategy Support for Small Businesses Pursuing RFPs, RFQs, Grants, and Government Contracts Win more opportunities with clear, compliant, evaluator-ready proposals — without hiring a full-time proposal writer. I help small businesses, owner-led firms, and proposal teams that need experienced proposal support a few hours per week to stay organized, responsive, and ready for upcoming bids. If you are reviewing opportunities, deciding whether to bid, organizing requirements, strengthening proposal drafts, or preparing submissions, I can help you move from scattered to structured. I bring over 15 years of government contracting and proposal writing experience, including evaluator-side experience as a former GS-12 DoD Contract Specialist. I have reviewed proposals from the government side, so I understand how evaluators look for compliance, clarity, proof, risk, responsiveness, and alignment with solicitation requirements. Best fit clients I am a strong fit for clients who need ongoing or recurring proposal support, but do not need a full-time proposal writer. This may look like: • 5–8 hours per week of proposal strategy and review support • Help reviewing RFPs/RFQs and deciding whether to pursue them • Compliance matrices and proposal outlines before writing begins • Draft review before submission • Proposal organization and section-by-section improvement • Final quality checks to reduce the risk of missed requirements • Reusable templates, checklists, and proposal systems for future bids Through my business, Up-Scale Projects, I support clients in three main ways: 1. Fractional proposal strategy support For small businesses that need a proposal expert available each week to help review opportunities, organize deadlines, create compliance tools, improve draft responses, and keep proposal activity moving. This is ideal if you are pursuing bids regularly but do not have enough volume for a full-time proposal writer. 2. Evaluator-style proposal reviews If you already have a draft, I review it from an evaluator’s perspective and identify where the response is unclear, unsupported, noncompliant, difficult to score, missing required information, or not persuasive enough. I focus on compliance, clarity, proof, risk, responsiveness, and evaluator confidence. 3. Proposal writing, revision, and reusable systems I can help write or revise technical proposal sections, executive summaries, management approaches, past performance sections, resumes, staffing plans, and other proposal content. I also create reusable proposal templates, compliance checklists, outlines, content blocks, and review tools your team can use for future opportunities. Services include: • Fractional proposal support • RFP/RFQ and grant opportunity review • Bid/no-bid support • Compliance matrices • Evaluator-aligned proposal outlines • Technical and management approach narratives • Executive summaries • Past performance sections • Staffing and key personnel sections • Proposal draft reviews • Gold Team-style reviews • Final quality checks before submission • Proposal templates and reusable content systems • RFP consulting and guided proposal support My approach is simple: I organize proposals around what the solicitation is asking for and what the evaluator needs to see. That means clear structure, direct responses, strong proof points, evaluator-friendly language, and no unnecessary fluff. Rates • Fractional Proposal Support: $85/hr • Proposal Strategy / Guided Consulting: $95/hr If you need steady proposal support without hiring a full-time writer, send me your RFP, RFQ, grant, solicitation, or current proposal process and I’ll help identify the best path forward.
