If the deadline is inside 48 hours, call. The form is fine; the phone is faster.
Before you write
What to have to hand
The registration and socioeconomic documentation a plan needs is published on the federal profile, and the capability statement is on the site as a page as well as a PDF, so you can quote from it directly into a proposal.
Written for somebody deciding, under deadline, whether to put us in a plan. Scope we can genuinely take, and scope we cannot.
The AI scope a prime rarely has in-house
Agentic deployment, workflow automation, document and correspondence processing. It is a niche that complements a prime rather than competing with one, and it is frequently the part of a solicitation that nobody on the team wants to own.
Infrastructure and the hardware together
Cloud, network, security and data centre, plus the equipment supply underneath. One supplier across that boundary removes a coordination seam from your plan and a lead-time risk from your schedule.
Proposal contribution that arrives on time
Technical volumes, past-performance narrative for our own scope, and the compliance matrix entries for it. We write to the instructions rather than sending marketing copy for you to rewrite.
Socioeconomic standing for the plan
Status that helps a small-business subcontracting plan clear its targets, published on the federal profile with the certification behind it, and stated as pending where it is pending, so you are never relying on something you cannot confirm.
And what we will decline
Scope needing headcount we do not have. We will say the number rather than promising to recruit against an award
A place on a plan purely for socioeconomic credit with no real scope attached, it does not survive an evaluation and it does not survive us either
Exclusivity across a whole vehicle when we can only deliver part of it
A pursuit where we would be competing with an existing client of ours without telling you
How it usually runs
The teaming sequence
From your first message to a signed agreement. The timings are what we hold ourselves to, and the phone beats all of them when a deadline is inside two days.
01Within one business day
A straight answer on fit
From a named executive, not a queue. Including when the answer is that we are not the right subcontractor for this one, which is more useful to you at that point than a maybe.
02Same reply
Documentation, without a second request
Registration, codes, socioeconomic documentation and the capability statement, sent with the reply rather than after you ask again. Where something is not yet confirmed we say so explicitly so you never build a plan on it.
03Within a few days
Scope and pricing for our volume
What we would take, what we would not, our basis of estimate, and the assumptions behind it. Written so you can drop it into your volume rather than translate it.
04Before submission
Teaming agreement and proposal contribution
A teaming agreement with an exclusivity position we can actually honour, and our technical and past-performance sections written to the solicitation instructions.
Working with us
What you can rely on
Six things we commit to in a teaming relationship. They are the ones worth holding us to.
We tell you what we cannot staff before the proposal, not after the award
Our past-performance narrative describes only our own scope, with nothing borrowed
We honour the exclusivity we agreed, and we will not agree to one we cannot honour
We do not approach your client behind you, during the pursuit or after it
Where a claim of ours is pending, we say so, you never build a plan on something unconfirmable
One named executive throughout, reachable, who can make a decision
