Michelle Keshel

Michelle Keshel is the CEO and Founder of SAS-GPS (Government Procurement Solutions), which she established in 1998 to give businesses a true competitive edge in the federal marketplace. With more than 25 years at the helm, Michelle has built SAS-GPS into one of the most trusted government proposal writing firms in the country, helping clients secure over $45 billion in federal contract awards across industries including construction, IT, cybersecurity, healthcare, facilities management, and professional services.

Before founding SAS-GPS, Michelle served as Business Systems Manager at Chaney Systems, Inc., a custom technology infrastructure consulting firm in Wisconsin, where she developed her sharp focus on process, compliance, and results-driven communication. Her foundation, however, was forged in the United States Army, where she served for nine years as a Chief Warrant Officer, Helicopter Pilot, Intelligence Officer, and Systems Security Officer, a background that instilled the discipline, strategic thinking, and mission-first mentality she brings to every client engagement.

Michelle leads a team that delivers end-to-end proposal development services, from capture planning and go/no-go decision support to RFP response writing, compliance review, and price-to-win analysis. Under her leadership, SAS-GPS supports businesses of all sizes, from agile startups to Fortune 500 companies, pursuing federal opportunities through GSA Schedule consulting, GWAC vehicles such as OASIS+ and CIO-SP4, and small business set-aside programs including 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB.

As a service-disabled veteran and woman-owned business, SAS-GPS reflects Michelle’s deep commitment to both excellence and equity in government contracting. Her firm is known for producing compliant, compelling proposals that make evaluators take notice, delivered with the clarity, strategy, and urgency that winning requires.
