How can SAS-GPS help my company win government contracts?

SAS-GPS can significantly enhance your ability to win government contracts by serving as an expert extension of your team. With over 20 years of experience in federal acquisition and a track record of helping clients secure more than $45 billion in awards, we understand what it takes to succeed. Our support includes end-to-end proposal writing and development, ensuring your submission is compliant, compelling, and professionally presented. We also provide bid strategy advice, helping you identify which opportunities to pursue or avoid and how to best position your strengths. Additionally, we assist with pricing strategy to ensure your bid is competitive. Essentially, SAS-GPS takes the heavy lifting of navigating federal procurements off your shoulders, replacing the challenge of complex RFPs with seasoned proposal experts, writers, pricing analysts, and former federal contracting professionals working to showcase your company effectively. This often leads to higher proposal scores and more contract wins. We have built many client success stories and are ready to do the same for you.

How does SAS-GPS structure its pricing for services?

SAS-GPS uses a firm, fixed pricing model for most proposal projects, offering a flat fee for a clearly defined scope of work instead of open-ended hourly billing. This approach ensures upfront cost certainty, giving clients predictability and transparency from start to finish. Each project is carefully scoped with a detailed outline of what’s included—such as writing the technical proposal, conducting reviews, and producing final documents—effectively serving as an internal Statement of Work. The result is a clear, committed price with no surprise overruns or hidden fees.

This not-to-exceed pricing model helps clients budget confidently and eliminates concerns about accumulating consultant hours. It also drives greater efficiency, allowing both your team and ours to stay focused on the mission: winning the contract. You typically work with the same team on each project, which means they quickly become familiar with your business, processes, and preferences—value that’s built right into the fixed price.

For projects with uncertain or evolving requirements, SAS-GPS also offers flexible alternatives, including retainers and pre-paid hourly blocks. These options provide structure and predictability while accommodating change.

What makes SAS-GPS different from other proposal consulting firms?

SAS-GPS differentiates itself in several key ways. First, our track record of success is impressive—we’ve secured over $45 billion in contract wins for our clients over the years. This reflects the quality of our team and approach. Second, we offer firm fixed pricing on our projects, providing clients with cost certainty and no surprises. Third, we pride ourselves on a team-based, in-house approach. Unlike firms that rely on freelancers, we have a stable team of experts—many of whom are former military or federal contracting professionals—who work together consistently. This means you often work with the same team who truly learn your business and become an extension of your staff. We provide full-service support, including writing, graphics, editing, compliance, and pricing analysis, all under one roof. Another differentiator is our deep expertise in federal acquisition regulations; we ensure your proposal is not only well-written but also fully compliant, helping avoid disqualification. Lastly, we are genuinely invested in our clients’ success and limit the number of clients we take on at once to maintain quality and personalized attention. Many clients say we feel like internal team members rather than outside vendors. In summary, with SAS-GPS, you get a partner with unmatched experience, transparent pricing, a dedicated expert team, and a one-stop shop for all your government proposal needs. We like to say our mission is your mission—when you win, we win.

Can SAS-GPS assist with strategy and planning, in addition to writing proposals?

Definitely. While proposal writing is our core service, SAS-GPS often serves as a broader advisor and strategist for our clients’ government contracting efforts. We understand that winning contracts isn’t just about the proposal document—it’s about choosing the right opportunities, building the right team, and positioning your company for success. Our team can assist with capture strategy, which occurs before proposal writing begins, including researching the customer, understanding the competition, developing winning themes, and advising on pre-RFP steps such as meeting with agency officials or lining up partners. We also help clients map out a 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline aligned with their business goals, enabling them to make effective resource and budget allocations. Additionally, we guide clients in improving internal proposal processes by establishing proposal libraries, templates, and review procedures—essentially helping set up a mini “proposal department” if needed. For those new to government contracting, we provide education on key topics such as proposal evaluations, debriefs, compliance, and using systems like SAM and DSBS. Our philosophy is that an informed client is a more successful client. We’re not just writers; we’re your partners in pursuit. Leveraging our vast experience securing multimillion-dollar contracts, we provide actionable insights and guidance to give you a strategic edge. So yes, whether you need high-level planning or someone to bounce government contracting ideas off, SAS-GPS can fulfill that advisory role.

What if my business has no prior experience with government contracts?

If your business has no federal contract experience, you can still get started, but you’ll need to be strategic. One effective approach is to team up with an experienced prime contractor or work as a subcontractor on a government project to build your past performance. SAS-GPS offers Federal Teaming Support, through two programs, FedStarter and Fedteam, which help connect small businesses with little or no federal experience to prime contractors seeking partners. By partnering, you can contribute to projects and gain valuable experience that will enhance your credentials. It’s also wise to begin by targeting smaller contracts or those with requirements you can meet, even if they fall short of your ultimate goals. Over time, these smaller wins and subcontracting opportunities will help establish a solid track record. The key is to demonstrate performance in some capacity—whether as a prime or subcontractor—before pursuing larger prime contracts. We often tell clients that everyone starts somewhere, and we can help develop a strategy to guide your entry into federal contracting.
