Government Defense & Aerospace Proposal Support

Proposal writing, development, and pursuit support for defense, aerospace, and mission-critical government opportunities.

SAS-GPS supports experienced defense & aerospace contractors pursuing federal, state, and local government opportunities across mission support, C5ISR, communications, research and development, military infrastructure, technology, professional services, and other defense requirements.

Our proposal professionals support the pursuit from opportunity qualification and capture strategy through proposal management, technical writing and development, teaming, pricing, compliance, reviews, production, and final submission.

Defense & Aerospace Proposals Require Technical Expertise, Compliance, and Strategic Planning

Defense and aerospace procurements can involve technical requirements, security considerations, acquisition vehicles, teaming structures, past performance requirements, pricing, and rigorous proposal instructions.

Depending on the opportunity, contractors may need to demonstrate mission understanding, technical maturity, qualified personnel, security readiness, transition planning, program management, risk mitigation, relevant past performance, and the ability to execute in demanding operational environments.

For experienced defense contractors, technical capability alone does not make the proposal competitive. The response must translate that capability into clear evidence aligned with the solicitation's instructions, evaluation criteria, mission priorities, and performance risks.

SAS-GPS helps defense and aerospace contractors develop compliant, evaluator-focused proposals through capture strategy, proposal writing and development, proposal management, teaming support, pricing, past performance development, reviews, production, and submission management.

As an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, SAS-GPS also understands the role small-business participation, teaming, subcontracting, and set-aside strategy can play in federal defense pursuits.

Flexible Proposal Support for Defense Pursuits

SAS-GPS can support a complete proposal effort or specific workstreams based on the needs of the pursuit. Engagements may include proposal management, individual technical or management volumes, capture support, pricing, compliance, reviews, graphics, production, and submission support.

Where appropriate, SAS-GPS works under a clearly defined scope and fixed-pricing structure, allowing contractors to understand the expected level of support before the engagement begins.

Whether your organization is pursuing a major prime opportunity, an IDIQ or task-order competition, a research and development program, or a strategic subcontracting role, SAS-GPS can scale proposal support to the scope and requirements of the pursuit.

Yes. SAS-GPS can work alongside an existing capture, proposal, technical, engineering, pricing, program, or business development team. Support can be added where additional capacity or specialized proposal expertise is needed.

Does SAS-GPS support DoD IDIQ and task-order proposals?

Yes. SAS-GPS supports contractors pursuing IDIQs, multiple-award contracts, on-ramps, and task-order competitions. Support may include opportunity qualification, capture planning, proposal management, technical writing, pricing, compliance, reviews, and submission management.

Can SAS-GPS support defense teaming and subcontracting pursuits?

Yes. SAS-GPS can support teaming strategy, partner positioning, workshare planning, proposal coordination, small-business participation, and integration of partner capabilities and past performance into the broader pursuit.

Does SAS-GPS support SBIR, STTR, and defense R&D proposals?
