Why JLCA

Big-shop rigor. Boutique rates.

Nimble

Two-day turnarounds on compliance matrices and outlines. We move at the pace of the due date, not a staffing plan.

Experienced

Thirty-five years across civilian, defense, and IDIQ work. We have seen this evaluation scheme before.

High win rates

Our clients have been awarded over $1B. We also tell you when not to bid — that is part of the win rate.

Affordable

Boutique rates without a large-firm overhead structure. Scoped to the pursuit, not to a retainer minimum.

How we work

We join at any point in the pursuit — and we don’t slow you down.

Most clients bring us in at capture. Some call three weeks before the due date with a red-team problem. Both are fine. We scope to the deadline in front of us and we bill for the work, not the overhead.

PRE-RFP
Capture Qualify, position, team, and set the price target.
DAY 1
Compliance & outline Matrix, annotated outline, and writing assignments inside 48 hours.
DRAFT
Write & review Authoring, color teams, and scored recovery against the evaluation sheet.
SUBMIT
Production Final QC, portal submission, and a debrief request either way.

“They read the RFP more carefully than the government did. Two compliance catches in the first week paid for the whole engagement.”
