Contract (1099)

Proposal and Capture Writer

Federal proposal writing for a small SDVOSB: SBIR submissions, task order responses and teaming packages.

What you would do

  • Turn a solicitation into a compliance matrix and an outline before anyone writes a sentence.
  • Draft technical approach, management and past performance volumes with the principal engineer as subject matter expert.
  • Run color team reviews on a schedule that fits a two-person shop.
  • Track the capture side: teaming partners, set-aside strategy, questions to the contracting officer.

What we screen for

The screening exercise measures exactly these three things.

  • Federal proposal experience specifically: FAR Part 15 and task order responses, SBIR/STTR, Sections L and M, compliance matrices.
  • Writing that answers the evaluation criteria in the order the evaluator reads them.
  • Judgment about what to bid and what to leave alone for a company this size.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated federal proposal experience. Marketing and commercial copywriting backgrounds are welcome only alongside it.
  • Able to provide a redacted writing sample from a federal proposal you authored or substantially wrote.
  • Based in the United States.
