Federal Construction Proposal Support
We help construction contractors win federal work, from MATOC and MACC proposals to two-phase design-build, past performance, and joint venture bids.
Service Overview
Federal construction contracts are awarded on more than price. Evaluators look at past performance against specific size and scope minimums, bonding capacity, safety records, and how well the technical approach answers the solicitation. Many of the largest opportunities come through multiple-award contracts, where a seed project decides who gets on the vehicle.
We prepare the volumes that decide those awards, so your team can stay focused on estimating and building.
Built Around How Construction Bids Are Evaluated
Construction solicitations are won on details: past performance that clears every minimum, a bonding package that's in order, and a compliant price and technical approach. We build each volume around the evaluation factors, so nothing is left for the evaluator to question.
How We Help
MATOC and MACC Proposals
Multiple-award construction contracts are won on the seed project and the volumes around it. We build both to the solicitation.
- Multiple-award task order and construction contract proposals
- Seed project technical approach and pricing
- On-ramp submissions for existing MATOCs and MACCs
Two-Phase Design-Build
Phase One decides who gets to compete. Phase Two decides who wins. We prepare for both.
- Phase One qualifications and past performance
- Design team structure and key personnel
- Phase Two technical and price proposals
Past Performance
The right projects, documented the way the solicitation asks, carry more weight than the most projects.
- Project selection against solicitation size, scope, and recency minimums
- CPARS review and Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) coordination
- Project narratives tied to the evaluation factors
Compliance Volumes
Construction proposals carry requirements that general proposal teams often miss.
- Bonding packages and surety coordination
- Limitations on subcontracting demonstrations
- Safety records, programs, and certifications
Joint Venture Bids
Teaming can open work a single company can't reach on its own, if the joint venture is documented correctly.
- SDVOSB and 8(a) joint venture proposals
- Mentor-protégé joint venture proposals
- Joint venture past performance and responsibility documentation
