Federal Procurement Specialist | Government Bid Writing | SAM.gov ยท SBA ยท GSA ยท FAR Compliance Small businesses leave millions in federal contract opportunities on the table every year not from lack of qualification, but from three fixable gaps: SAM.gov registration errors that trigger automatic disqualification, missing or mismatched SBA certifications that block set-aside eligibility, and proposals written for a general audience instead of the evaluation panel scoring them. I close all three gaps. With experience supporting 40+ businesses across federal, state, and local procurement including SAM.gov registration, 8(a)/WOSB/HUBZone/MBE certification submissions, GSA Multiple Award Schedule onboarding, and full RFP/RFQ proposal development, I bring end-to-end procurement strategy, not just document production. Core Competencies: 1. SAM.gov Registration & Compliance: UEI/CAGE setup, error resolution, NAICS code optimization, and renewal management 2. SBA Set-Aside Certifications : 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, MBE, DBE โ€” full documentation, financial analysis, and submission management 3. GSA Schedule (MAS) : SIN determination, compliant pricing, Price Reductions Clause (PRC) navigation, eOffer/eMod submission 4. Federal Bid & Proposal Writing: RFP, RFQ, IFB responses structured to FAR evaluation criteria โ€” compliance matrices, technical narratives, past performance, and management plans 5. Capability Statements: NAICS-matched, set-aside aligned, written for contracting officers and prime contractors 6. Procurement Strategy : Sources sought analysis, teaming agreements, sole-source positioning, and long-term contract pipeline planning How I work differently from generic proposal writers: Federal proposals are scored documents. Evaluators follow a rubric and most proposals fail not because the business is unqualified, but because the response wasn't structured to match how points are actually awarded. I build every proposal around the evaluation criteria, compliance matrix, and FAR requirements first. The writing follows the strategy. Ideal engagement: 1. Small and mid-sized businesses pursuing first or repeat federal awards 2. Businesses needing SBA certifications to access set-aside contract vehicles 3. Defense or civilian contractors needing DCAA-aware documentation 4. Foreign-owned entities establishing compliant U.S. contracting presence Key Accomplishments: Supported 40+ businesses through federal, state, and local procurement processes Written 100+ RFP, RFQ, and grant responses across multiple agencies and jurisdictions Registered 30+ nonprofits through IRS 501(c)(3) and supported strategic planning Successfully guided clients through WOSB, MBE, and NMSDC certification approvals To start: Send a brief description of your contracting goal or the solicitation number you're responding to. I'll assess your position and outline exactly what's needed to compete, before we discuss scope.

๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Top 1% on Upwork | Former SBA Underwriter & Loan Broker | 10+ Years | 150+ Projects on Upwork only ๐Ÿš€ I build lender-ready business plans and financial models that actually get deals approved, from SBA and USDA loans to investor funding and immigration visas. As a former SBA underwriter and active loan broker, I know exactly what lenders look for and I design every plan and model to meet real underwriting standards. What I do ๐Ÿ“Œ SBA-compliant business plans (7(a), 504, microloans), investor-ready plans, franchise, landlord, export, strategic, continuity, and immigration plans (E-2, L-1A, EB2-NIW, EB-5, H-1B, O-1) ๐Ÿ“Š Full 5-year financial projections, 3-statement models, investor-ready financial models with cap tables, and SBA acquisition models for business purchases ๐Ÿงฎ Feasibility studies and business plans for SBA and USDA Business & Industry loans, including financial projections, market analysis, and economic impact assessments ๐Ÿ’ผ Buyer-side financial analysis, business valuations, Quality of Earnings reports and reviews, seller add-back and earnings review, cash flow and DSCR/debt service analysis, and post-close forecasting ๐Ÿ“ฃ Pitch decks, executive summaries, CIM/OMs, investor teasers, and consulting for SBA loan readiness and funding strategy My work is designed to be clear, defensible, and easy for lenders, investors, and management teams to follow, with rush delivery (including 72-hour options) available when timelines are tight. Why clients work with me Most business plan writers and modelers guess what lenders and investors want; I work with them daily and build your package around real SBA, USDA, and private lending standards. I focus on decision-grade analysis, realistic and defensible assumptions, and clean Excel models that support acquisition planning, financing strategy, and ongoing management. Funding and approval outcomes My work has supported SBA 7(a) loans from 350K to 5M+, USDA Business & Industry loan approvals, investor raises including a recent 5MM SaaS deal, and multiple immigration visa approvals. Examples include a 600K SBA 7(a) loan for a deli, a 1MM+ SBA loan for a pickleball franchise, and a 4MM USDA-backed storage facility loan, along with numerous lender-ready and investor-ready packages from day one. If you need a business plan, financial model, feasibility study, or acquisition analysis that can stand up to lender and investor scrutiny and move your deal toward approval, message me and letโ€™s discuss your project.

Business Proposal Writers Hiring FAQs

What is a business proposal writer?

Business proposal writers research prospective clients for your business and write tailored business proposals that describe how your product or service meets their needs. High-quality business proposals deliver an outstanding argument for consideration and include the cost of implementing your solution with tiers of services and fees.

How do you hire a business proposal writer?

You can source business proposal writers on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a business proposal writer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview business proposal writers. Once freelancers begin responding to the project description, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of business proposal writer you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire a business proposal writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business proposal writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business proposal writing services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by business proposal writers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $50 per hour
  • Intermediate: $74 per hour
  • Advanced: $135 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a business proposal writer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample business proposal writer job post titles:

  • Business proposal writer needed to help with marketing agency pitches
  • Law firm seeking a business proposal writer to connect with hospitals
  • Experienced business proposal writer needed to edit a short business proposal

Project description

An effective business proposal writer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From research to editing, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or proposal formats, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Business proposal writer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of business proposal writer job responsibilities:

  • Write and edit proposals that clearly convey business information and details about products and/or services
  • Research prospective clients to gain an understanding of the audience and tailor proposals accordingly
  • Consult other professionals on the business team to gather and present accurate information
  • Collaborate with graphic designers, layout specialists, additional writers, and others to create the best proposal possible

Business proposal writer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications youโ€™re looking for in a business proposal writer. Here are some examples:

  • Familiar with word processing and document creation software such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Adobe Acrobat
  • Experience with proposal writing, grant writing, or other business writing
  • Ability to create a proposal strategy and meet regular deadlines
  • Excellent communication skills
