R–03 Pricing

Published prices. Not “contact us for a quote.”

Two products, a monthly retainer for firms that bid every month, one flat out-of-scope rate, and terms printed on the page. Every engagement is quoted in writing and approved before we start — no hourly meter, no surprises on the invoice.

Compliance Matrix + Response Plan
Entry product
$390fixed 48–72 hrs Every requirement mapped — number, page, what to provide, who provides it — the elimination traps flagged, a section-by-section response plan, and a submission checklist.
Full Proposal Draft
Complete, submission-ready
$1,900from · quoted per RFP Set to deadline Everything in the matrix, plus a complete written draft answering every requirement in order, formatted to the solicitation, with cover letter and executive summary written to the evaluation criteria.
Bid Desk — monthly retainer
For firms that bid every month
$990per month · 3-month minimum Ongoing One full proposal draft per month (solicitations up to 100 pages; larger ones quoted at a discount), a compliance matrix for up to three additional bids you pursue that month, weekly bid screening for your trade and service area with a one-paragraph go/no-go note, and an always-ready document vault — insurance certificates, licenses, W-9, references — with expiry alerts. Unused proposals don't roll over.
Out-of-scope work
Anti-drift, published
$95per request Quoted first Anything beyond the agreed scope — an extra section, a new attachment, a late requirement the agency adds — flat-rated and approved by you before we do it.

All prices in U.S. dollars. The full proposal fee is a fixed quote given in writing before any engagement — the market for comparable work runs $2,500–$4,000+.

R–05 How you pay

Milestones, so neither side carries all the risk.

Compliance matrix
A single fixed fee, due when you approve the written quote.
Full proposal
50% at kickoff, 50% on delivery. You approve the deliverable, then release the final half. Larger jobs may add milestones in between, listed in your scope.
Bid Desk
Billed monthly in advance by card; cancel after the 3-month minimum with 30 days' notice. Late on a Bid Desk deliverable we dated in writing? That month's fee is refunded in full.
On-time guarantee
Miss the deadline we set and you get a full refund — no forms, no negotiation. The deadline that counts is the one written in your scope.
Records
A written scope and a receipt for every payment. Nothing starts without both.
R–11 Where we draw the line

What we won't take on.

We'd rather tell you no up front than take the fee and leave you exposed.

  • Federal work that requires a security or facility clearance
  • Holding, issuing, or standing in for certifications on your behalf
  • Legal advice, contract interpretation, or anything a lawyer should sign off on
  • Submitting the bid for you or acting as your authorized representative

No surprise line items

Scope creep is what turns a fair price into a bad one, so we name it. The scope you approve is the whole job. If it isn't in that scope, it isn't on your invoice — unless you said yes to a $95 out-of-scope request first.

Every out-of-scope item is quoted and approved before we touch it. You will never see a charge you didn't agree to.
