Quick answer
Federal construction proposal preparation from Bidmere organizes your response to a FAR Part 15 solicitation for general and specialty contractors. You get a requirements matrix keyed to Sections L and M, technical and past performance drafts from approved facts, a price volume shell and an amendment log. Prices are priced from $6,950, ready in 5 business days.
What does a federal construction proposal package include?
It includes every volume the solicitation asks for, organized so evaluators find each answer where Section L says it will be.
- Requirements checklist: each requirement and evaluation factor mapped to a volume, section, owner and status
- Technical and past performance drafts: narrative and reference write-ups in the solicitation’s format, from facts you approve, checked against page limits
- Price volume and forms package: price forms and schedules organized for your numbers and representations
- Amendment log and submission checklist: each amendment tracked to its acknowledgment, plus marking, signature and delivery items
Does a best value tradeoff or LPTA change the proposal?
Yes. The award method decides what the proposal must prove, so we read it first.
| Best value tradeoff | Lowest price technically acceptable | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-price factors | Rated, with stated relative importance | Pass or fail |
| Higher price can win | Yes, when benefits justify it | No |
| What the proposal needs | Evidence and discriminators | Clean compliance with each standard |
| Regulation | FAR 15.101-1 | FAR 15.101-2 |
How do Section L and Section M shape a federal proposal?
Section L tells you how to organize the proposal. Section M tells you how it will be scored. A strong response follows L exactly and proves each M factor in the place L assigns.
When they disagree, the requirements matrix shows both and flags the conflict. You can raise it through the solicitation’s question process before the deadline. We do not contact the contracting officer for you.
Which issues weaken a FAR 15 proposal?
- Section L and Section M disagree on the required outline
- Page limits are unclear about resumes and forms
- The solicitation reserves the right to award without discussions
- A past performance reference your company cannot substantiate
- An amendment changes the evaluation factors or the price forms
- Proprietary data legends missing or marked inconsistently
Not included: signing, representations and certifications, creating or enlarging past performance, setting your prices, and bonds or insurance.

Common questions about handing off the work
Will someone else be writing claims about my company?
Only from facts you supply and approve. Gaps go on a list for your decision. Nothing is invented to fill a page.
Who is responsible for the final submission?
Your company. We prepare and check. Your authorized signer approves, signs and submits.
What if our deadline is close?
Send the due date with your request. We confirm what can be delivered before you accept, or we tell you the scope needs to shrink.
We have never written a federal proposal. Is that a problem?
No. The matrix shows what each section must contain and who on your team supplies it. You approve every fact.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does federal construction proposal preparation cost?
Federal negotiated proposals are priced from $6,950 as a fixed price after we read the solicitation. Volume count, page limits and how ready your past performance is drive the quote. The quote arrives within 2 business hours. Plan review is free, and you pay only after you accept the price and delivery date.
How fast can you turn it around?
We reply with a fixed quote or our questions within 2 business hours. Substantial federal proposals are ready in 5 business days from your accepted quote and complete documents. Large multi-volume proposals may need more time, and the quote says so. Tell us your due date and your internal review date. If the time left cannot support the work and your review, we say so before you accept.
What is the difference between tradeoff and LPTA?
In a tradeoff, the solicitation states the evaluation factors and their relative importance, and the government may accept a higher-priced proposal when the benefits justify it. In LPTA, non-cost factors are pass or fail, and the lowest evaluated price among acceptable proposals wins.
Will the government hold discussions before award?
Not always. Clarifications, a competitive range, discussions and final proposal revisions are possible under FAR 15.306, but a solicitation can state that award may be made without discussions. The first proposal may be the only one, so we prepare it to stand on its own.
Do you write past performance write-ups?
Yes, from projects and references you approve and have permission to name. Each write-up is shaped to the facts the solicitation asks for, such as relevance, size, scope and outcome. We do not create or enlarge past performance, and unsupported claims go on the gap list.
Do we need SAM registration first?
Generally yes. Federal offerors are expected to be registered in SAM.gov at the time of offer, with representations and certifications complete. Check your registration status early, because renewal and updates can take time. Our SAM registration guide covers the basics.
What stays with our team?
Your team completes the representations and certifications, sets every price, signs the offer and submits it in the required manner before the deadline. We prepare the volumes and checklists from approved facts. We do not contact the contracting officer, attend debriefs or speak for your company.
How do you handle confidential documents?
Start with a short, non-confidential description in the quote form. The form takes text only, with no uploads and no payment. If the job needs your plans, financials or pricing, we arrange a secure document exchange after scope review. Leave private rates and personal data out of the first message.
