Bid and Proposal (B&P) and Technical Writing Services

Flexible Proposal Process	Our expertise in preparing proposals and grants has been sharpened over 26 years. Yet, our methodology is flexible enough to incorporate your culture and in-house methods. No cookie cutter, one-size fits all approach.
Proposal Writing and Development	Our technical writers can prepare any type or section of a proposal or grant—Executive Summary, technical, management, transition, past performance, resumes, quality assurance, risk management, human resources, or price. Single writers or teams of writers are available.
Technical Writing Services	KSI also supports clients with a broad range of technical writing and editing, from reports, manuals, plans, and contract deliverables to internal communications with staff.
Stimulus Grant Applications	Successful grant campaigns require an effective strategy and efficient teamwork in order to compile compliant content required for a winning grant response. Let KSI lead the strategy and content generation process and work with you to develop the final compliant grant that is thoroughly responsive and actionable.
State of the Art Proposal Facility	We maintain a modern and fully equipped proposal center enabling us to host proposals and grants, whether large or small. However, KSI proposal and grant teams are also equipped with complete “flyaway kits” to enable full functionality at the client’s preferred venue.
Turnkey Proposal Management	When a client prefers, we can install a complete proposal infrastructure. This includes a proposal manager, proposal coordinator, volume leads, writers, editors, compliance managers, integrators, desktop publishers and graphics artists.
Production Support	Some clients engage us to provide production support only: graphics artists, desk top publishers, editors, proofreaders and production personnel. Production activities are fully transportable to a client’s facility, or they can be done in KSI’s state of the art proposal center.
Proposal Plan	Your plan of attack for the proposal or grant. The document includes the win strategy, major themes, team discriminators, and customer hotbuttons. The Proposal Plan also has sections for schedules and milestones, proposal assignments, page allocations, detailed annotated outlines, key graphics, and available data.
Work Package	This is a section-by-section roadmap that guides the proposal writer through the critical early stages of proposal or grant development. Each Work Package includes: section themes, specific customer issues/concerns to be addressed, team discriminators, management and technical approaches, innovations, applicable procedures and standards, and other features.
Detailed Outline	Carefully crafted to precisely track the RFP headings, this tool ensures that your proposal or grant strictly adheres to the requirements of the solicitation and will never be found to be out of compliance.
Annotated Outline	This expanded version shreds additional RFP requirements to include every “will” and “shall” statement, making the document as “evaluator friendly" as possible.
Proposal Integration and Compliance Matrix (PICM)	More than just a typical compliance matrix, this tool combines the Detailed and Annotated Outlines with win strategies, themes, major selling points, the Offer Design, etc.
Evaluation Factors Scoring Tree	This tool gives an at-a-glance visual of evaluation factors, elements, criteria and subcriteria--and their weightings. Proposal writers keep the Scoring Tree constantly in mind to keep them from inadvertently straying into unimportant or unscored areas of the proposal.
“Killer Graphics"	KSI has developed a set of standard graphics (tailored to the specifics of each client and procurement) and cover designs that represent the state of the art in proposal and grant development.
GSA Schedules	We prepare winning, compliant proposals to obtain GSA Schedule awards, as well as other contract vehicles that are Government-wide, multi-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, task order type contracts.
A-76 Cost Comparisons	We have staffing standards based on Government engineering performance standards (NAVFAC, Air Force, and Army) and industry benchmarks for all Government O&M functions. We apply these performance-based standards in a bottom-up approach to translate workload into required staffing for industry bids under the A-76 Program.
Performance-Based Contracting (PBC)	We help our clients devise a suite of effective incentives, rewards and methodologies for implementation of the latest techniques in PBC and Service Level Agreements.
Oral Proposal Presentation Development	We are experts at winning oral proposals. Orals Plans, presentation development (using our SlideMaster Process), team building, coaching, and sample task responses are among our core specialties. Ask us about our proven "CAPE-B"™ process for real-time problem solving.
Review Teams/Win Teams	Under our winning approach to proposal reviews, review teams not only score a draft proposal, but provide constructive and actionable comments and improvements to upgrade the quality of the document.
