39%

of competitively bid public contracts in one state drew two bids or fewer.

Competition for public work is thinner than most firms assume. Usually the problem is finding the bids, not winning them.

How it works

End to end, from first match to submitted bid

One team owns the full revenue cycle, so nothing falls between a lead list, a freelance writer, and your inbox.

  1. 01

    Opportunities matched to you

    We build a capability profile of your firm, then source opportunities across state portals, local bid boards, e-procurement platforms, and cooperative contracts. You only see bids that match what you do, where you can deliver, at a size you can win.

    • Capability profile: services, codes, certifications, past work
    • Sourcing across thousands of portals, daily
    • Each match scored for fit and competition
  2. 02

    Bid / no-bid

    Every opportunity comes with a briefing: scope, mandatory requirements, red flags, incumbents, evaluation criteria, and our recommendation. You make the call in minutes.

    • One-page opportunity briefing
    • Disqualifier and red-flag scan
    • Clear go / no-go recommendation
  3. 03

    Proposal writing & submission

    Our proposal team writes the full response, builds the compliance matrix, assembles forms and attachments, and submits on time through the buyer’s portal or by mail.

    • Full narrative and pricing response
    • Forms, certifications, and notarizations
    • Q&A, addenda, and on-time submission

Best fit

B2B companies that want more government revenue, wherever they’re starting from

  • Starting out. You sell something public buyers need, but have little or no public-sector track record yet.
  • Scaling up. You already win government work, but your team can only bid on a fraction of what’s out there.

We work with software and IT, professional services, trades and construction, facilities, and product suppliers.

  • ⚠ Downtime penalties. Contract includes liquidated damages. Review against your SLA.
  • ⚠ Local preference. 10% of the score; you won’t get it. Offset with price and references.

Experts + AI

More bids, better bids, for a fraction of the cost of a hire

Our team runs on the Winify AI platform. It reads every solicitation, extracts each mandatory requirement, flags disqualifiers, and drafts from your approved content. That frees our proposal writers to focus on strategy, pricing narrative, and quality, and lets us pursue more opportunities for you without cutting corners.

  • Compliance first. Every requirement, form, and deadline tracked in a matrix before writing starts.
  • Grounded in your facts. Drafts are built from your real past work, never invented claims.
  • Human-reviewed. Nothing is submitted until our writers and you have signed off.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How the managed SLED revenue service works.

What does “SLED” cover?

State and local government and education: state agencies, counties, cities, special districts, transit and utility authorities, K-12 school districts, community colleges, and public universities.

What do you need from us?

A kickoff call, access to your company documents (capabilities, past projects, pricing, insurance and certifications), and a decision-maker who can approve bids and sign submissions. We do the rest.

We have never sold to government. Is that a problem?

No. Many of our clients start with zero public-sector history. We find opportunities with realistic entry points (smaller awards, cooperative contracts, and agencies that value newer vendors) and build your track record from there.

We already win government contracts. Can you still help?

Yes. Many teams that already sell to government can only bid on a fraction of what’s out there. We add sourcing and bid-writing capacity so you can pursue more opportunities, in more regions, without growing headcount.

Who writes the proposals?

Our proposal team, using the Winify AI platform. AI handles requirement extraction, compliance checks, and first drafts. Experienced writers handle strategy, tailoring, pricing narrative, and final quality review. You approve everything before it is submitted.

Do you guarantee contract wins?

No one can honestly guarantee an award. Agencies decide. What we commit to is a qualified pipeline, compliant and competitive submissions, and transparent reporting on every bid, so you can see exactly how the channel is performing.

How is the service priced?

Pilots and managed programs are priced on scope: number of target regions, expected bid volume, and the complexity of your offering. We share a fixed proposal after a short call. No long lock-in is required to start.

Can we just use the software ourselves?

Yes. If you already have a bid writer or proposal team, Winify AI is available as self-serve software for compliance checklists, bid / no-bid briefings, and first drafts.
